I'm just saying, knowing there's a poster named "Stan" doesn't tell us a dang thing about "Stan."

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Oh, and part two of the thing about the voting is, that's why the whole discussion and voting process takes a week: even if you're gone for the actual days of voting, you may have a chance to make your point in Lightbulbs, or vice versa.
"Mxplx*, The Grand High Minister of What Scrappy Said"
I have little to add to this discussion, other than the fact that I have personal objections to anybody else calling themselves the minister of anything. Not terribly strong objections, mind you, just enough to make this crack.
Once upon a time, I was Jess PMoon.
Okay, everybody changing their user name is making my brain hurt.
When we were going through all the set up, there was talk about what to do, if a ballot fell over a holiday, etc. I don't know how many people will be absent over Passover.
For the record, Nilly has voted. Wolfram has not.

I understand that, Victor. It's more an issue of perception than actual exposure.
I think it's possible that Wolfram is out of town and away from a computer all this week, which is a bummer, but there's never going to be a time period where every single person can vote. And it's not like Passover by itself keeps you off the computer -- it's the staying with family part that does it.
Passover's over, AFAIK, and voting is still open.
It started Monday night and is 8 days outside of Israel (7 within). The first two and last two days (outside Israel) are the big days on which no work is permitted.

Okay, I couldn't remember. I have this dim memory of us delaying a ballot for someone, for something, but no specifics. I could just be remembering someone's hypothetical.
Oh yeah, please note I know next to nothing about actual observations of Jewish holidays.
Where is the link to the ballot? Is voting closed now?
I only know a little, and mostly because some Buffista, long ago, linked me to [link]
I also asked, because Hil (I think) asked about the timing of the vote in lightbulb, but I don't know if it ever got addressed. Still, I can see your point. We all can't be here for everything.
sumi, the ballot is linked from here: Jon B. "Sunnydale Press" Apr 5, 2004 6:04:25 pm PDT
Voting closes tomorrow evening.
