I guess if there was another vote this'd be raised again. I don't
remember any "valid points" made against the group, but then I was
fairly blinkered...

You may be right, but from what I remember it wasn't a lack of yes
votes that was a problem, rather a *huge* amount of nos.
BTW, I'd vote "yes" again, and could perhaps persuade one or two others.
