EDIT 2: To avoid contamination by other people's ideas, please vote before you look at the comments.

If other people's ideas are contaminants, why am I even here? :) Aumann agreement and all that.

I didn't vote; my vote in this case is to let the people who are willing to do the work make the choice based on ease of implementation, since I have no strong (or even perceivable) preference.

Having several threaded forums for major discussion topics, on the other hand, would be great.

Voting based on what other people have commented gives unfairly high weight to the opinions of those who saw the post first.

On the other hand, it seems like if people begin debating the alternatives after they vote they are much less likely to change their minds.
