JFC - 

   Lack of response does not indicate "general agreement" nor "no one opposed"; 
   it simply indicates "lack of response".   To refer to it otherwise is disingenuous. 

   However, I do have some good news, in that I will respond to your proposed   
   MS definition (i.e. "It is to polycracy the equivalent of monarchy to democracy. 
   Technically, MS proceeds from a root/server/client hierarchic model") and note
   that I believe it to be contrary to existing usage of the term and otherwise without
   merit.  (The good news being that now you _can_ summarize your responses 
   received, the result being "overwhelmingly opposed"...)

   In keeping with the George's proposed etiquette or the 1net discuss list, I shall
   make the observation that our views are quite divergent, likely irreconcilable,
   and thus my constructive suggestion is that you find a mailing list of those of
   similar beliefs, and refine your ideas in that forum (I've included the cc's on this 
   reply to aid in that process, but ask that you refrain from cross posting in the 
   future, and simply use one forum of like-minded folks to continue your efforts.)

Thanks!
