But I think the "What If" game just leads to more confusion and upset.
Yes; that's where I was agreeing with you.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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

I know. I just like being agreed with so I thought I'd reiterate. Cause since I've decided to cut back on The Phoenix, I'm not getting the same amount of validation that I used to.

I just want to say that that voting form kicked butt. Very simple to use. Thanks.

Kat, I agree with everything you have ever said, and, for the record, everything you will ever say.
Well, almost everything.

This is kind of a Buffistechnology thing, but has anyone, and by "anyone" I mean Jon B, considered the HTML-form and/or PHP complexities of preference-based voting?
I mean radio buttons are really very simple. Yes, No, Don't Care, with a built-in checker right there in the browser interface that no more than one button is down.
If you're going to give me n options, and require me to give each a number between one and n, and not use any number twice, and not miss any option out, oy, the checking and the validation involved!
This, as billytea points out, is why such preferential voting systems have a "Put a big X next to the Labor Party and don't worry your pretty little head about those bothersome preferences, we'll sort it out for you" option.

Aw, Angus. So sweet. So we agree on everything except things on which we disagree. I can live with that.

I do live in LA, billytea, I get plenty of parking validation on a regular basis.
Hey John! It's good to see you back again.
I'm taking my nattery self away until we find out the results of voting. Then I'm gonna become lobby/advocacy girl. Or not depending on the result.
But I still think of myself as the Speaker of the House! Kristen remains the Whip.
edited for sensemaking.

Not at me, Kristen! By god... watch what you are doing with that whip.
Seriously...
thank you to Cindy, jengod, and Jon who made the vote seemed easy to me until I read in here.
This post was mostly an attempt to numberslut. Successful!
