I'm an academic, so I'd prefer to collect the most data and then deal with the results later. I can't think of another way to do it that would address the Hard Core Spoiler people and the Hard Core Lite people.
This gives people as much choice as they desire and if this nets too many recommended threads, then we can deal with that in another week.
In some ways, I feel that the administrative issue and what people want are two different things that need to be dealt with in separate instances. If people see this as REALLY problematic, I can change the poll again.
I'll try to get the ballot up today.
I will as long as I don't have to deal with poll watchers.
Jon, I'll do it.
LeN, I don't think we've ever had the proposer count the votes. We figure the proposer's already gone through enough aggravation.
Heaven knows. Should I?
It's probably better if, as a rule, a ballot proposer doesn't also count the votes. Not a trust issue, but just to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
ETA: and of course, DX's reason.
I'll get the ballot up this evening. Too busy at work right now.
ita -- can you point votes@... to DX?
hey, that's fine with me.
