I guess I should have picked up from the other thread that it's pedantry 
hour. I'll play one round on-list.

The common English definition I'm familiar with for "consensus" is the 
one described by Merriam-Webster online 1b: " the judgment arrived at by 
most of those concerned."

I recognize that in the game of pedantry, this is simply moving my pawn 
out from its starting ranks at the beginning of the tournament. If you'd 
like to continue the match by, say, quibbling over the meaning of "most" 
in that context, please call me on +1 650 903 0800, extension 863. I'm 
sure this is neither topical for this list, nor of interest to its 
members, and I suspect we can conclude the matter much more quickly in 
real-time.
