Well - I would have voted for making 2012 visible all the time, but I could see by the vote progress that this didn't look like it would win. I felt that alternating voting was as close as I could get to what I wanted that might still have a chance to win. So I voted for that instead.

I'll understand, however, if they say no. Thank you, again. |

I picked alternate. I think alternating is a nice compromise.

Well, what Tom can do is just manually change your answer after the poll is done so your answer will be the one you want it changed to and then if that helps hidden win, then hidden wins.

Although if the compromise will leave most people reasonably happy, that's probably the way to go. |

For those on the fence, please look at the results from November. They have been the most spread out, most even results we've ever had. There was no actual runaway. It was close. It was fair. Nobody voted based on book xyz has 5 more votes then the one I wanted so I'll vote for xyz instead of what I wanted. People voted for what they wanted. It came out to be a very interesting vote. The results (IMHO) were a lot more interesting then seeing them as we go along.

That's why I like the open poll. There's a much greater likelihood of selecting a book that's appealing to a large group. With closed voting, you can get a selection of interest to only a tiny plurality (especially if the nominees include more than one book of appeal to a larger subset).

I've gone ahead and done that, but I'm still waiting for an admin to say whether or not they can put Nyssa name in the other column. It may not be possible.

I hope that, if their votes will make a difference, that those who have voted for all open voting will get their votes changed to the compromise category. Half a loaf, etc.

Thank you so much, Tom. I'm sorry for all of the trouble. I'll weigh my choices more carefully next time.

The poll totals now reflect your changed vote, but one of the Admins told me there are no tools available for moving your name from one answer to the other. I knew I couldn't do it.

Note that this says nothing about my opinion for the November selection. It being Sci-Fi I didn't really care. I would agree. In fact “Each month, we should alternate between Hidden and Viewable” and “All Book Club Polls in 2012 should be Viewable” should be combined in comparison to “All Book Club Polls in 2012 should be Hidden” |
