In any case, I'm not seeing a groundswell that says people don't like the current system. Quite the contrary.

Issy, its not all or nothing! No one has said," OMG I hate the current system." I'm pretty sure if they did they would be gone by now. Its more of a "Hey, you know what would be cool to try ? A blind vote". Every person who has suggested or supported the idea, in the handful of conversations we've had, has asked that we try it for one month. That's it...just one month to see how the group likes it. The royal "we" might love it or the royal "we" might hate it, or the royal "we" might not give a rat's butt either way, but we could at least say that we tried it.
What is this fear of trying something new? Its not written in stone, and even if it was, someone's got a chisel and is ready to use it.
