<br>
It was a suggestion (not a demand) which, I iterate, does not have to be adopted.
<br>
<br>
Kindly suggests a means of ensuring that I, for example, do not go on twitter or to my ‘long’ list of friends and tell them to vote for candidate X or tell them to “+1” a reply on a certain topic. Yet they have no clue what is at stake. This practice is evident
on the lists.<br>
