One disadvantage of posting a preliminary tally is that it encourages people to try to influence public opinion. I just typed and erased something that hints at my preferences about three times. Make that four. Better press send now before I do something unethical.
I was afraid about this happening. I hinted on progressively posting the results in my preliminary heads-up message to the boost moderators list and no-one objected, so I thought I'd give transparency more weight. Perhaps I'm wrong. If you guys think that a continuous tally is not a good idea, I'm all ears. In fact, obviously, it will make my life easier to just do one tally.
