576.0. "Voting misunderstandings?" by ASD::LOW (Merge with Authority) Mon Dec 07 1987 16:01

    There has been some concern that many people did not fully
    understand the choices when voting on the issue of note
    580.  There were 3 possible choices:
    
    	No - Keep WOMANNOTES as is.  
    
    	Yes (A) - Make WOMANNOTES a closed (members-only) file
    
    	Yes (B) - Keep WOMANNOTES as is, and open an *additional*
    		  closed (members-only) file.
    
    If anyone was not clear on the choices, and wishes to "change"
    their vote, please reply to this topic, and perhaps this
    will help ensure that an accurate view of WOMANNOTErs was
    obtained by this vote.

576.1you misunderstand my misunderstandingTFH::MARSHALLhunting the snarkMon Dec 07 1987 16:2028
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
    
    
    Let's see now, I fist asked this question in 561.71, never got an
    answer, only restatements of 560.0 
    
    And now you create this note which is AGAIN a simple restatement
    of 560.0
    
    My confusion is WHY the question was posed as it was. Seems to me
    that the ONLY thing that should have been asked AT THAT TIME was
    whether to keep WOMANNOTES public or make it private. Only if the
    vote resulted in keeping it public should the question have been
    asked as to whether to create a NEW, PRIVATE conference.
    
    Because, it seems that by combining the two issues, the moderators
    have now locked themselves out of the possibility of creating a
    new private conference for those who would like one.
    
    560.last states the the motion has failed, well which one? There
    are really two motions in 560.0

    If there would be a second file, the question of whether or not
    maggie and bonnie would moderate it is very important to ME at least.

    Steve (.1,.3), your point is very well taken.  We almost certainly
    should have split the issues exactly as you have described.  Since I
    was the one guilty of drafting the question, I can only plead my hacker
    background as extenuation for writing a "spaghetti proposal".

    RE .0:
    
    Maybe the question might have been better asked as:
    
    	Yes = Make womannotes members-only.
    	No  = Keep womannotes public access, and:
    		(a) = create a new members-only conference.
    		(b) = do not create a new conference
    
    (_I_ think it makes a lot more sense this way, but then I would
    wouldn't I?)

    re .5:
    
    WOW an answer at last! BTW, I do agree with Lee about the moderation
    of the hypothetical private conference. I hope that I too was not
    confusing and implying that "just anyone" should open a private
    conference.
    
    Considering that this policy question may have, in the end, generated
    more heat than the trashnotes proposal, perhaps it would not be
    impossible to repost the question a little differently? Or perhaps
    pose JUST the question of creating a new, private conference?
    
    Or perhaps, it is just me making the most noise and nobody else much 
    cares?

576.8Anyone ever hear about SET NOTE/TITLE="New Vote"?VCQUAL::THOMPSONNoter at largeTue Dec 08 1987 09:449
    RE: .0 People can change their vote at any time *in the vote topic*!
    
    All they have to do is read their vote reply and use the SET NOTE/TITLE
    command. People can change the title to *their own* reply or Note
    at any time. Moderator privilege is only required to change some
    elses title.
