I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yeah, I think that's probably overkill for our purposes. I don't mind the concept of explaining the whole rank-the-options thing to newbies, but having to break out Binary Walk every time seems like a bit much. It's seriously geekily fun, though. (Um, not meant as an insult.) I'll be interested to see what the results are.

I've been trying to stay away from the mieskie business, but I think I should say, any back-channel-ness that I contributed to, I'm sorry.

I think the admins handled it well. I'm very relieved it's all over.

I've got some other stuff to say, of course, but maybe I'll wait a week or something. See if it still needs saying.

Our wings are not tired.

It came up privately. It was addressed privately. Anathema requested his ID suspended and it was.

Straightforward enough.

I think the admins handled it well. I'm very relieved it's all over.

Agreed.

I am able to do the vote count, but timing might be a little tight for me because I am going out of town Wednesday morning. I don't think this should be an issue since most votes will probably be cast within the first day or two. Let me know what is needed.

I didn't edit because I couldn't resist the number.

My profile address is fine to use for the voting forward. Did Jon make a new form?

I'm working on it as we speak...

I'm sorry Anathema is gone, but I can't say I'm surprised. I think the Stompies handled it as well as they could.

Here is a preliminary ballot. Comments welcome. IT DOESN'T WORK YET SO DON'T SUBMIT IT!

I'll be home until about 7:45pm EST, at which point I'm out for the evening. I'll put a working ballot up before I go. Others will have to post in Press with the relevent info.

Jon, the main comment I'd have about the last ballot is that it didn't look substantially different, after it was submitted, from the way it looked before.

Can we have this one be a form before submission, and then just a big-ass "your vote has been submitted" message after?

I'll try, John. Unfortunately, my time is limited, but that hopefully won't be too difficult.

Cool. It was just a bit confusing before. We didn't get any reports of people voting twice though, did we?
