130. I'm finding it very difficult to vote here.

Wed Dec 14, 2011, 12:17 AM

Dec 2011

My first impulse is to suggest that everyone who has volunteered (in other words, everyone on this list) be appointed to a host position.

Each of you brings unique strengths that I think would serve our community well, and there's no one for whom I'd cast a negative vote.

If I'm counting the edited list correctly, that would give us 12 hosts, which doesn't seem like too many to me, considering the number of hours in a day.

But... that said... I realize we're trying to narrow the field here, not hand out "Yay, Everybody!" certificates to every student in the class.

So I'll also offer my Top 5, with apologies in advance to anyone not on it. When it came time to whittle names down to my (self-imposed) limit of five, there were a couple of coin-tosses in there.

1. Behind the Aegis _____ +1 _____

4. fearless __________
5. HillWilliam __________
6. Lyric _____ +1 _____
7. motely36 __________

10. Sapphocrat __________
11. The Philosopher __________
12. William769 _____ +1 _____

Late add ons:
14. Jamastiene ____ +1 ______
15. Zorra __________
16. DSC ____ +1 ______
17. Durham D __________

If someone writes-in, "-1,000,000" then I suppose it could be taken personally. n/t Ian David Dec 2011 #46

Perhaps an exception can be made... but not on the voting thread! Fearless Dec 2011 #59

Now would probably not be a good time for that. n/t Ian David Dec 2011 #61

My thoughts exactly. Also do you want your add ons to the ballot from before... Fearless Dec 2011 #65

I already posted my ballot in the correct format and gave them +1 votes. n/t Ian David Dec 2011 #66

I'd say it is telling of the good character of our LGBT DUers! Fearless Dec 2011 #29

I voted for each person that I would support to be a host. yardwork Dec 2011 #42
