I'm a bad Buffista - I can never keep the procedure straight. Do we have to have light-bulbs open again for X days to discuss before this goes to a vote? That's my recollection, but I don't know if what we've already done counts towards that.

(what I mean is - is there a way to defend the answer within the poll itself, or would a person have to come here to post their reason?)
Lightbulb is for arguing and defending votes, as well as helping to frame the ballot.

You know, I'm not sure myself. I tabled it last Thursday, and the original proposal would have gone to a vote on Friday by my reckoning. Personally, I would split the difference by keeping Lightbulbs open over the weekend to go to a vote on Monday, but I may be being impatient again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would do Lightbulbs again, just because the earlier discussion was broader. I didn't see people specifically talking about why they would or wouldn't support a Lost thread specifically.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Thanks for the explanation. I'm still fairly new to the board and wanted a little clarification.

I agree. This is really a much different proposal than your earlier one. It's more like a "should we open a thread for X" discussion, and should be given the standard number of days for discussion/vote.
ETA: which is moot now since LB was opened while I twittered away composing my opinion.

Okay, that makes sense. So that means we have Lightbulbs open through 9 a.m. board time Tuesday, Oct. 19, and the vote goes to 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 22? Or am I messing up on the dates? And should we add an extra day for discussion to make up for the fact two of the days are a weekend?

You've got the dates right. And no extra days necessary, the weekends were contemplated when we set up the one week for discussions and voting. I mean, no matter how you slice it, the weekend is going to to be part of that one week.

Moved to Lightbulbs.
