We already had four days of discussion when Connie agreed to postpone the vote. So does that mean we go straight to the voting tomorrow? Since the postponement was "extra-constitutional" (i.e. our voted-upon rules don't allow for it), we're in uncharted waters. Personally, I think there's been quite enough discussion and we should go straight to the vote, but what do others think?
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

That right now, without having seen the data resulting from the poll, I'd be most likely, as Hec is, to vote no, and that it doesn't seem fair to the proposal to rush ahead with it at this time.

I thought that we put a halt to discussion -- and we were going to have more discussion after the wait. I didn't realize we were just waiting to vote.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If we go straight to a vote right before the weekend I foresee a lot of post hoc protest. So I would suggest another four days for discussion, until Tuesday, basically because I don't actually foresee a lot of discussion given how much we've discussed thread creation of late.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think bon bon is wise, and also I agree with her on waiting to vote.

My thought, too.

I would like to reopen Lightbulbs to continue the discussion. Does anyone remember how much time was left before voting, or should we reset the clock?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Discussion actually happened for just over four days the first time, but I still think we should give it another four before voting.

I disagree about giving it more time than the alloted 4 days it has already received, in part because we've discussed to death.
Connie, if there is more discussion, do you anticipate that it will change the ballot in any way?
