A classic example is one vote where over twenty users have voted to put a page at the location that is contrary to MoS policy. Arguments ranged from
- well I like that name
- well I always use it
- I personally haven't heard any other name used
- the Government wants it
- it will eventually become widespread
- I hope it eventually becomes widespread
- I think it will eventually become widespread
- we should be encourging it to become widespread
- I think the old name is colonial
and a lot of others.
