This is my first ballot, so I'm not sure of the procedure. Do I post the final form of the ballot here and say "Let loose the dogs of voting"?
edit: also, I presume the No Preference rule is still in effect.

I think you post it in Lightbulbs, and then a stompy will do some magic and then post an announcement in Press. Did someone already volunteer to count votes?

PUt in a line for No Preference to count towards the quorum. I remember some talk about taking that out but nothing settled.

Including No Preference as an option or not is up to you, connie.

the phrasing of the ballot is up to the framer (you). you can have it on or not - there is not rule requiring it and no rule disallowing it.

OK. And to think I just wrote it and forgot to put it in. I'll leave it, a straight yes or no.
Let the stompies go forth and do do that voodoo that they do so well.

Wow. That was...wow. Thank you for coordinating the poll, msbelle and poll posse. I learned a lot. Reading the comments was especially eye-opening. I'll need to digest for a bit before I can comment more specifically than that.
Oh, one thing I noticed--I got confused by the "essential thread" percentages at first. Just wanted to point out the the percentages next to individual threads are based on the number of people who chose that thread; i.e. if four people picked B'crxy and two picked it as their first choice, there will be a 50% in that column. I found it a lot easier to ignore the 1st, 2nd, 3rd thing and just look at total numbers of people who picked each thread to get a better sense of overall preferences.
