[Discussion] [Discussion]

Is it really necessary to subject-tag any [Discussion] thread? Aren't all
threads, unless otherwise specified, discussion threads? If you don't
include the [Discussion] subject-tag are we assuming it's not a discussion
and not a vote, so therefore it's... what?

Internet Explorer 10 does enable Plugins but Metro(browser within the 
new ui) does not - as for now. This is in sync with the decision of 
Adobe to drop the mobile browser support: In other words: in modern 
browser systems they want Flash Player to be gone. I am interested in 
Air for Windows 8 though.

However: I am looking forward to

my humble opinion is:
all threads are discussion, if we're going to have many threads on a
specific topic just move those threads in another mailing list.
special things such as voting and polling people are best done with other
tools such as google forms and others. i personally found ridiculous 100+
mail/day with "+1,+20,+N" for voting the logo.

IMHO it is also a good idea to prepare for a [VOTE] thread by first having a [DISCUSS] thread (that's the process on private when discussing possible new PPMC and committers.) sometimes as this thread implies that is pretty obvious.

In a high volume list this will call attention to an issue. Generally we should be striving to achieve "LAZY CONSENSUS" when doing that it should be a [DISCUSS] or [PROPOSAL] thread. A [VOTE] would then be called if consensus is not present.

About the only time that's necessary is when you want to discuss a vote thread in progress. It's a good idea to fork that to a discussion thread and use the tag to make it clear.

  I've gotten in the habit of changing the 'vote' to discussion if I 
respond to a vote thread where a discussion has started.

  Beyond that I haven't been paying attention.
