11. How long before this thread is locked?

Good question. Missou is OK with me but the subject is going to bring out the nutjobs.

I don't think it will. People have behaved so far.

In my opinion, only the worst SE question is controversial and there has been a runaway winner so far. For the record, it would not have been my pick, but it's still early.

See, I can't bring myself to send a PM with answers, but I admit I want to see the results.

I'm not publishing who voted or how people voted, just the results.

Re: One week only: Sheep, journalism version

Can I change my votes?

(Nah, not really. Just wanted to give it a bump for the final 24 hours or whatever.)

Re: One week only: Sheep, journalism version

I'd love to get to 50 total, hopefully there will be a push in the last 24 hours.

Is it because you don't want to vote in certain categories? Why not just abstain from those votes?
