I think Greg's right. I was following that thread initially, but due to
the large number of follow-ups, I didn't have time to read every single
one of them, so I missed the post in question. If it had been made a new
thread, with a new subject (e.g. 'Evolution Referendum' or something),
it would have been more easily distinguishable from being just another
follow-up.

If it's important, why not just post it again as a separate thread and
see if it gathers any more interest? It might not, but at least that'd
settle it :)

Cheers,
