Just do so, then.  Ed doesn't need any more data, in fact.  He can ask 
another bureaucrat to call this one, or he can do it himself.

I don't think another straw poll is a good thing, at all.  I don't think 
qualifying  the bureaucrat status case-by-case is good, either.  My own 
feelings about Ed are that his avuncularity has slipped badly on this issue; 
but that has nothing to do with his capacity to decide the outcome. And  I 
don't think any amount of civility makes up for schisms.
