Results of Completely Unscientific New List Vote
------------------------------------------------
Yes: 16 A whopping 29 votes were placed, with the 'yes' vote coming out on
No: 13 top. Pretty piss-poor turnout (you won't catch them saying *that*
------- on TV this year), and not exactly a resounding victory. So, it
TOT: 29 looks like we'll be trialling a new list, right?
The Stuff Wot People Wrote
--------------------------
A short selection of comments from the people who voted.
"[slug-chat] A general bezar for the off-topic discussion of the SLUG
community." - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"It should at least be tried. If the main list gets too dry and lifeless,
then maybe close down slug-social, but until then let the madness reign
there." - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [sic]
"[...] it is very hard to define the notion of "off-topic" when it comes
to serious questions" - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"Let's have a two week trial or something. <controversial suggestion>
Let's make the trial list opt-out - ie. subscribe everyone already on SLUG
automatically to slug-social and let the few who don't want to be on it
unsubscribe." - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"Donkey Vote" - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"Now you're a little sheister aren't you ;) I went to test vote after you
said it verifies against your email address [ with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ]
Came back to vote for real as myself (different email, funnily enough) and
it said I'd already voted! Cheeky bugger." - Craige McWhirter (gotcha
Craige!)
"Just get over it, everyone enjoys the chit chat. From petrol prices to
car theft. i reckon the hardcore geeks should form their own list."
- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"And another list for discussing whether or not we should create more
lists." - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"You can use this for organising social events also." - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"oath." - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
"most people would subscribe to both list's anyway, just so they don't
miss anything." - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now, what are we going to call the thing? ;) KIDDING!
