3.5: bel voted for you but didn't play; that's 3 full votes and a half vote, whatever points the votes are worth. I'm not sure if we arrived at a scoring consensus, but I think we're still trying to encourage participation. |shrug|

p.s. - I put the non-playing voters in italics up above, but then didn't bother to explain myself. |burp|

Actually³, O Hogmasterbrether, I didn't really think you would stoop low enough to award *yourself my vote. [rolleyes-e]

To B or not to B was obviously not the question, huh, ron? Shame, shame.

well then, whom should I have given it to?! or, to put it more obliquely, giving your vote away to the hogmaster is akin to handing the election over to the supreme court.

Had you been rigidly impartial you could have refused the honor.

That's an idea you need to pitch more loudly.

pitch more loudly

This from someone who thinks the pitch is the place on the pitch where the ball pitches?

Nope, from someone who thinks the pitch is the place on the wicket where the ball pitches before it hits the wicket.

Now, now. Aunt Fanny says that use of the term is incorrect. You wouldn't be calling Aunt Fanny a liar, now, would you?
