The Majority of DUers Support Shutting Down DU

A poll today shows a majority -98%- of DU members support the permanent shutting down of the DU board.

Now we go to the guts of the actual poll, and we find this in the guts, but not mentioned at all in the media article:

-The majority, 98%, support shutting down DU...IF it would cost Skinner his house, his car, and selling his entire family into slavery to pay the costs of keeping DU open and IF every single member of DU would be required to pay $10,000 each towards the costs of running the DU and IF another less costly board could be opened elsewhere unde4r a new board name.

-No DU members (other than freepo-fascists masquerading on the board as progressives) support the shutting down of the DU board unless costs of running DU were prohibitive to make continuing the board unpraticable.

And link to the polls your memory is correct about:
