I Knew Someone Would Do It...

I'm just surprised it took so long. The poll is now closed.

Thank you to almost everyone who voted. I especially want to thank the ballot box stuffer, who worked overtime to record 47 "lame" votes from the same IP address over two days.

Here's the scoop: I heard from a lot of people that they wanted to be able to discuss and comment more, so I opened the comments up to anyone, but the comments never really took off except from a few PSPs. I dearly appreciate their insightful and provocative comments and I look forward to hearing more from them all.

So I thought I would take a poll to see if there was "anybody out there", or if everyone was "comfortably numb."

I was very gratified to find a nearly equal number of PSP and NSN votes from unique IP addresses until the past few days, when someone starting stuffing the ballot box toward
"lame" status. C'est la vie. This was never a scientific poll.

I very much appreciate the readership out there, and while I never had any intention of stopping, I am more than ever ready to continue. Agree with me, disagree with me (really--I would like to hear from the NSNs), let me annoy you.

But...I cannot be everywhere. The collective eyes and ears out there are far more effective than little old me pounding away on my keyboard. So participate. Speak up.

STS,

I agree with you. I would love to see some balanced participation from both sides. I was hoping this could be a vehicle to do just that, not just a club for us losers (I mean that in the electoral sense :) to whine.

Heated debate - even outright arguing - can be productive. But it's hard to debate people who (mostly) agree with you.

That said, dissenters speak up! We know you're out there.

I'm not a dissenter but I'm ready to comment. The blog is great! Long live the Save The Morrisville School Blog! Great job. Both Entertaining and infomrative.


I guess the mail box stuffer never thought that his/her many votes could be traced.
