Everyone is free to post her/his opinion. If someone does not do so,
then we cannot know her/his opinion. That's just life.

Generally speaking, a problem might be the speed of some discussions.
If someone goes on holidays for say 14 days without looking on EUforum,
then it might happen that there will be made some decisions without
her/him. That's not actually democratic.

I think it would be good to offer that explicitely as an answering
option, along with another on. So I'd like to suggest to provide for all
answers the following additional options:
- I don't care.
- I want more information/discussion.

OK, then the problem that I mentioned above does not apply here.
