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.
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.
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.
Voting closes tomorrow evening.
Which is a full day after the end of the second day of Passover. I don't see a problem.
Gah! All these people changing their names! Chaos! Confusion! Brain hurt!
I am with ya on this MarvelMan, particulary since my mind does the translate thing on posters that I know with a different name.
I don't have any issue with the name list. It seems an interesting read. It seems likely to me that anyone who had an issue with publicly displaying their name probably isn't using their IRL name anyway.
I take my stand now: I will always ALWAYS be Miracleman!
It's not like your secret identity is, ya know, very secret...
It seems likely to me that anyone who had an issue with publicly displaying their name probably isn't using their IRL name anyway.
If, say, we had a bunch of celeb signups, would we be well served by listing them publicly? I don't feel so. I don't think the up side is significant at all.
Maybe just me, but when we were at WX when the board was down, it weirded me out that my name was on a list at the left. Just sitting there. For other people to see.
