I delurked Mar 22, 2004 quoting Jeff Goldblum...
"First there is the oohing and the aaahing and then there is the running and the screaming."
Pretty darned prescient considering the ensuing kerfuffle. I can't believe it's been so long ago. I'm seriously boggled.
Can't imagine spending my online time anywhere else.
I just put the vote results up.
I'm surprised.
Maybe I should have gone for the No Preference option after all. Would have been interesting to see.
I wonder if the people who would have voted NP elected to not vote. The turnout is smaller than we had for the last vote on the SPN thread.
On the other hand, the SPN discussion raised a lot of very strong feelings both for and against the proposal itself; this one seemed to have a lot more emotion around questions didn't have to do with the proposal at all. That makes the lower turnout not so surprising to me.
True. And it is still a higher turnout than we've had on some other recent votes.
Right. Try again in February?
Wow. That was a close vote.
Yes, it was. I voted for it, but I'm not surprised it lost. I don't blame Connie a bit for not wanting to wait any longer, but at the same time, it didn't seem the right time to put it through, when we're in the middle of extreme navel gazing.
