I have offered no pretense of owning the topic, and now I feel insulted by
your strawman apologies.
I would object to someone littering in my city's streets. That doesn't
require I own the streets, only that I use them.
If nobody else had followed your example, I would have said nothing. But
three people saying `+1` indicates a noisy, unproductive pattern that
should be discouraged, much like spam or chain letters.

I'm not asking you to behave foolishly.
Instead start another topic with a dedicated subject-line and something
like: "Sean, in this other topic, suggests we record all VPRI outreach
events. <BLOCKQUOTE>. I agree and would like to see what can be done to
achieve this." If you are fishing for agreement, you could indicate "Please
add your voice..."

Your opinion may be valuable. But `+1` is not very valuable, at least not
on this forum. On a mailing list `+1` is just noise, whereas
community-moderated fora (like Stack Exchange or Slash Dot) offer some
mechanism to express exactly this.
