Only one person (that we know of) wants the new scheme.  Others, like
myself, haven't
mapped a toll, may never map a toll, and comment on the proposal in order
to try to
improve it even though they may never use it.  Because we all benefit from
a rational mapping
scheme and all suffer from a badly-conceived one.

Question: which of those people should be prepared to do the most work by
dealing with
a method of communication they do not prefer?  Those who didn't see a need
for
the change in the first place or the person wanting the change?

What the proposer is implying (whether intentionally or not) is that
his/her/its time is more
valuable than ours.  His/her/its time is more valuable than the time of all
of us who find it
easier to respond on the list than on the wiki, put together.  I doubt very
much that this is
the case.  And even if it were the case, that would just be pointing out
how inferior the rest
of us are, and nobody likes to be made to feel inferior.

In addition, his/her/its attitude isn't helping his/her/its case.
He/she/it doesn't want to do
the work necessary, work that most other proposers accept as part of the
task, and insists
that any of us who prefer responding here must inconvenience ourselves for
his/her/its
benefit.  And then he/she/it accuses me of being childish when I point out
how some
people are likely to respond.  How to make friends and influence people...
