NEAT. And to think I voted against No Preference counting for MVT. Now, it seems handy.
It's very handy for multi-decision ballots, where someone might care very much about 1 and 4, but give a rat's ass about 2 and 3.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

Wolfram, remember, you have a newborn.
The newborn's the easy one. It's my other two that are graying me. :)
Also, why are we closing Firefly Quotes? Don't we want to wait for the DVD and then have more deathmatch?

Our wings are not tired.
Bless you DX!
Indeed. I really didn't want to count such an involved ballot!
NP is quite handy. Also, I would be very grateful for the pro and con summary on each issue if someone would be so kind.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Three threads for half a season's worth of episodes. Any quotes can be posted in the main Firefly thread.

But we're still going to have deathmatch, right?

DXM -- Let me know if you would prefer to receive the votes in any sort of fancy format. My coding options are pretty flexible.
e.g. the subject line could read: YYNP-YNY-YP-:Joe Buffista
where "P" means no preference, "-" means no vote, and the rest is self-explanatory. I'm just brainstorming for something that you could easily parse and keep track of.

Thanks, DX, for offering to count the votes.

Jon, that subject format looks fine, thanks. They'll all have the same "From:" line, right, so that I can filter them to a separate folder?

the present code has the from line be the voter's email, but I can change that to whatever you like. How about I change it to "votes@buff...."?

Aw, DX, thanks for taking one for the team. The whole counting thing sounds onerous. A lot like me trying to get my grades into the computer last night.
I'm officially volunteering now to count the next one.
