So true. I took the subtle subtext and implication and wrapped it in neon lights that flashed "Get It?!?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Marti on a bad day.
Phhbt!

Probably because I was doing it while working and got distracted. Let me double check and make sure I only have you down once. ~j

No, I meant "why did I get a 'we got your vote' e-mail and then a 'vote counted' e-mail, which I don't think we really need." But then I saw the explanation, and I deleted my post.

After Florida, I think it behooves us all to be conscientious ballot counters!

If that's the case, all the convo will have accomplished is bringing about a lot of frustration, and the risk of scaring people off of choosing to use a polling method that takes place on a form, rather than gleeming the consensus-that-wasn't from a thread.
Yes. This.
In fact, for those who were wondering why conversation should cease when voting commences -- this conversation feels like a classic example.

And we better watch it or the UN is going to send election observers to monitor our polling. All because of the monkey lover ballot stuffers.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Y'know, much of the conversation has been clarifying what the proposals being voted upon actually mean, and what their implications might be; but I think you're right. It feels like it generates more confusion than it addresses.
So if we have a vote on ceasing discussion while voting, I think you've convinced me to go the yes.
