Results of poll:

27 votes (44%) = "Yes" create a subforum
34 votes (56%) = "No" don't even think about it (or else)

Besides my creative wording of the "no" option, these results are not an overwhelming majority needed to create a subforum. So the results are that a subforum will not be created.

I did not vote in the poll.

Let's please keep the gloating (from the "yes") votes to a minimum. Thanks.
 
I voted for the subforum and I am not a segmented turner. I know that such a subforum will either create a strong and supportive comunity of like minded folks or folks will ignore the forum andd it will die from lack of use.
 
Bill,
I voted "No" because I don't want my primary interest to be "stuck off in a corner". I might never have become interested in segmented turning if it was isolated from the general discussion. By remaining in the main forum segmented turning information is available to NooBees (like me, not long ago) to stir their interest and get them to try it.
