No, they do that in "Beep Me".
Oh. Sorry. Forgive me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I do too Jon-- it is just so hard to tell if people haven't said anything because they don't care, or because they haven't seen anything.
My suggestion:
Start the vote tonight at midnight.
Perhaps extend to voting period so that people who aren't here now can vote, even if they haven't discussed.
Also, did we decide whether or not to include item #4?

Have the words 'secret ballot' made it into anyone's posts during this discussion? Kind of the cornerstone of any solid democracy, as a hedge against voter influence.

Oh, I'm sorry (again) Lyra. I'm being fuzzy today. I tend to think things out as I type and my posts often go way too far the other direction.
Anyway, I guess what I was asking is really a question that would be answered if they read this thread (is voting like this the only way it will ever be?) and didn't need to be asked at all.

Well, they aren't secret from jengod. I don't think there is a way to do it.

I read four comments. Lyra & I want to leave it on, with a small edit. Cindy wants it off. And ita didn't seem to have a strong opinion either way. (correct me if I've mischaracterized!)

Perhaps we could add something about procedures being discussed later, but that people will get their say for that, to?
God damn, I am a loud mouth in this sort of thing! Someone make me shut-up!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm okay with keeping #4 on the ballot.
I'd rather start voting tonight and extend the voting period if we're having doubts that everybody has had a chance to check in. This thing's a lead sled and once it stops it's going to be difficult to get it moving again. Better to get it started and then let it run longer than postpone the start date.

I won't die if we make the edit, rather than take it off. Either is good. Sorry, have to run again. Anything is good with me at this point.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
popping in before running off again

Thank you, everyone.
