Sorry Steve, I was responding to

"Yes. But agitation is also a way of talking to people, of saying "this is
what we think this means. This is what we think people not voting means."

Clearly, agitation is a way of talking to people.  So is talking to people.
I don't need to agitate against voting to talk to people about the elections
or politics.

But I appreciated your comments.  Still digesting them.  That one just
seemed a bit forced.

Cheers,
Chris
