Both sides can play at that game. I have no more interest than you do,

Your pettiness enures that I vote yes..

Exactly how is it "pettiness" if I vote no for an inadmissible reason
to cancel out the effect of {R} doing the same, but not "pettiness"
for him to do so in the first place?

Because, in general terms, the only sensible reason to vote 'no' is
because you feel the group will damage the uk.* hierarchy. Otherwise
it is sufficient that there is the right minumum number of potential
users.

{R}'s reason for voting was to counter a 'don't split my group' type
complaint, a variety of complaint that I find ludicrous because time
will settle any such problem.

In these days of crossposting there will be enough traffic 'between'
the two groups for the users to establish for themselves which is the
most appropriate. Dr Death may eventually need to prove his worth, but
that has never been a problem yet.
