What?
Nevermind. I missed that bit in jengod's post.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

85 - Woo Hoo, sounds like we will have a quorum.

What's weird and creepy is that that's like, 10% of our registered users. I mean, sure, lots of the other 90% are probably people who registered, and then didn't come back much, and some are people who just haven't had a chance to vote yet, but...wow.

x% will not be interested in voting, x% haven't been around today, x% won't ever be back cause we scared them off. I think 85 that quickly is quite impressive.

Hey guys. Checking in from my snowbound hotel room. Just wanted to say that despite my dissent, I deeply appreciate all of you and your civil conversations.

Just to confirm for the record that both my wife and Sydney, Australia are both beautiful.
But that's natter. So I'll see you there.

Liese - you can vote "no" to voting and get your dissent to count. Also, Jon set up a nifty form.

Okay, this is either a really stupid question or a big deal or both.
Are we counting abstentions by people who otherwise voted? We aren't counting Buffistas who are not part of the electorate, but if someone abstains from voting for one of the propositions, do we eliminate their vote or count it as a third option.
100 people (let's not even make them Buffistas, because of the quorum issue) vote on a proposition.
50 - yes
25 - no
25 - abstain
Is the result:
50 (50%) - yes
25 (25%) - no
25 (25%) - abstain
or
50 (66%) - yes
25 (33%) - no
(Gosh I hope that makes sense.)

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
It makes sense to me.
And I think it should be counted as a third option. Like the difference between "I don't want to vote for either of these Presidential candidates" and "I couldn't be arsed to leave the house and vote today" some countries let you register.

Ditto everything amych & other said. Big thanks.
I'm still reading ... suggestion to put Sophia's nillies into Nillytown, or Press? They will be relatively buried here, eventually, and hard(er) to find without search, but relatively easy to post in one or the other now?
