Just because the rate of those sent to Madame Guillotine has slowed does not mean that there will be no need for her in the future.

POLL DESCRIPTION

raducci proposes:

In the teeth of proposals to start new boards, I want to poll the membership about abolishing one: the Napoleonic History board.

It was set up when we used to have several rambunctious scholars who slugged it out regularly over items like bricoles, the Guard at Marengo and whether the Duke lied about the Prussians.

Most/all have left, are banned, or are perhaps now imagining they are Napoleon in some quiet rest home.

Now, it is used sparingly and then items are always cross posted to Discussions. So it is pointless!

Do away with it, and this might start a trend.
