I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hm. I got the "you voted as..." screen but not confirmation email.

I just tried voting again and got the screen, should I get the confirmation email immediately?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Actually, I don't think I got a confirmation email either.

Ah sh*t, totally forgot about adding voting to the new site. Should be pretty easy at least.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I didn't get a confirmation either.

Well, jeez, did our voting apparatus get hacked by Russian bots?

Jokes on them, our bullshit consensus is strong.

My confirmation email was in my spam folder, FWIW.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dana, aurelia, I got your votes.

Weirdly, some of the votes went to my inbox and some went to spam.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I did get the confirmation, although I can see why it might go to spam. I didn't know what it was at first. We need a better message title. Right now it's just "Y:(your name here)". It also claims to be from me, when it ought to say it's from b.org.

Aha. Yep, it's in the spam folder, once I knew what I was looking for.

That's all my doing. It's to make it easy for the vote counter to filter the replies. Ideally, the confirmation email would be different from what goes to the vote counter person, but it is not.

Ah sh*t, totally forgot about adding voting to the new site. Should be pretty easy at least.

That would be an excellent enhancement. Right now, it's just me manually updating a page.
