I think that your GMT offset might be off. I'm showing that he posted at 2:41am (EST) / 11:41pm PST, so I believe that he should be included in the poll.

Judges?

Okay, this is a little weird.
I just checked this page when I got home, after checking it earlier from my iPhone.

Earlier, it showed the voting results so far, and the three I voted for.

Last night, my desktop also showed that.

Now, it shows the entrants and is offering me the chance to vote.
What is the deal, Moderators?

It would be tacky (not to say dishonorable) to vote again, but you shouldn't really offer that temptation to people.

I have no idea if it would detect that I've already voted (no idea if you have to be logged in to vote), as i haven't tried.
But as a geek, I'm curious as to why it's happening.

Okay- colorsafe and smiffy are on the poll. Sorry for the screwup! :oops: Please feel free to change your votes accordingly.

Question for you: March 12th is the official start time for voting, should I take away the "Change Your Vote" option at that time?

My belief is that the incredible awesomeness of this thread has created a tear in the fabric of space-time surrounding my computer. Clearly, this computer has aged one hour less than yours, there is no other explanation.

What a humbling experience reading this thread. As someone who designs builds and sells kits for a living, I can only dream of the day when it would be possible to enlist the talent here.

You guys are inspiring.
