I think Steve's point is well taken. There should be more to starting a thread than just <copy paste>. The OP should add something to actually sparks a discussion.

Imagine if we were at a party. I, out of the clear blue, stated "The chief export of Peru is Tin", and nothing else. That is not a good way to start a conversation.

People around me would probably stop talking and stare at me.

So, to the OP, Why did you think this was interesting to post? What are your feelings on this? Are you in favour of this decision, or not in favour of this decision. If you are going to start a thread, you should be willing to start the conversation.
