Scratching my head a bit; at no point did I suggest or imply you said anything such thing, and in response to your rather rude question, I did read your post, but you evidently didn't like the answer you got. To reiterate, my point is that we can't have a poll for every issue that comes down the pike. it's inefficient and contentious and then the phrase, "tyranny of the majority" comes to mind. "What the group wants as a whole" almost certainly will narrow the appeal of the book club to the barest possible majority. See

Frankly, at least for me, that would pretty much end my participation. And I am not sure it would that much increase discussion participation by others who at present do not do so.
