It seems to me it's a mistake to attribute to FD any meaning other than "let the discussion continue". If I prefer the current arrangement, I don't want to vote for further discussion, I want to vote for *stop the discussion*. If Further Discussion wins a vote which lacks an explicit status quo option, how does one interpret it? Clearly, none of the options were good enough, but was the problem that people don't want to change or that people want to change it to some other value not listed? Hence, a third option "keep the requirement as it is" would probably be a good idea. -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, Jyväskylä, Finland http://antti-juhani.kaijanaho.fi/newblog/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/antti-juhani/
