Yeah, that makes sense.
Not at all. My original point, which is slowly becoming irrelevant as this thread drifts, was that voting no automatically is also no guarantee of a greater end result.
There are examples of NO votes being absolutely appropriate. The same applies to YES votes, however.
And vice versa. I'm guessing you voted no on the last agreement here at DAL. So long as you read the agreement, and concluded that it warranted a no vote,
you have my respect. I just know that there are guys who will always vote no--and for that matter, others who will always vote yes--before they have read the first word of any agreement. We all need to be more accountable to ourselves than that.
