I've always said that thriller, suspense & crime are not the same and should not be merged. Besides, if they were the same, then we'd only need one of them.

I'm not sure I understand your disagreement with me. I would consider the categories already ironed out. Are you really saying that because some obvious descriptions from the category nominations thread weren't included in the poll that we must ignore the clearly stated intent from the nominator of a category?

I'm very surprised that Romance is doing so poorly. I thought that it is one of the most popular categories.

Question:
So far, there is a 3-way tie for 6th place with 13 votes each, a 3-way tie for 7th place with 11 votes each and a 2-way tie for 8th place with 10 votes each, giving us 3 more categories than we can use.
If the current poll were to end right now, which categories would make it into the run-off poll? |

I've never said otherwise. What you are saying now is different than your last post. Letting people decide based on everything they know about a category, including any descriptions, is one thing while expecting to ignore any clearly stated descriptions not listed in the poll is quite another.
