Funny... and here I thought that Paul was simply being considerate of
the possible sensitivities of list members by asking first!
I appreciated the question and the explanation of his intended use. I
guess I'm just too olde-school...

"It remains difficult to know when and how much to trust the wisdom of
crowds [...] Crowds turn all too quickly into mobs, with their time-
honored manifestations: manias, bubbles, lynch mobs, flash mobs,
crusades, mass hysteria, herd mentality, goose-stepping, conformity,
groupthink [...]. Collective judgment has appealing possibilities;
collective self-deception and collective evil have already left a
cataclysmic record."
