Ok, WRT the progressive tally, while I do not agree with Christopher Diggins and Gennadiy's reasons, I decided to stop it. My reasons are simply that 1) people are not enthusiastic about it and 2) not doing it will lessen my work, in fact. I was under the impression that people will be appreciative of the additional effort. Clearly, I was wrong. After meditating on it, it's not worth the trouble. WRT discussion about preferences, I assert that there's totally nothing wrong with it. I think posting the tally progressively will initiate constructive discussion. But surely, there are less controversial ways to stimulate discussion. So, I welcome anyone who wish to discuss anything (subjective or objective) relating to the logos. This is the boost way. Will such discussions have an effect on the outcome? Sure, but I don't see anything wrong with that. I think that's healthy. Now, for those who wish to change their minds, you can resend your votes. I also don't see anything wrong with that. I'll make sure each person gets only his latest vote into the final tally. And, in light of recent events, and in the hope that we'll have more discussions following this, I shall extend the schedule to March 22, one week after the original March 15 deadline for accepting votes. I believe what we are doing now is very important. Let's do this right. Jonathan, I believe you have something to say? You are welcome to start the discussion. Finally, I still welcome anyone who wish to do an independent tally. C'mon guys, this won't take too much of your time. If you plan on contributing something back to boost, this is an easy chance!
