- Eight people voted today on the eight sites. And eight has always been
- my favorite number. Interesting. I'm leaving the doggykins out of the
- tally since somebody would probably say something horribly specist if I
- included him, and that would hurt his feelings. The following tally
- represents votes by these people: abh, bz, Chris S, Evelyn, Judith,
- Karen, Natalie, Rashmi.
-
- I had thought originally that a "No" by anybody for any one of the sites
- would rule it out by blackball. But that, alas, would rule out all eight
- sites. No site was without at least one "no." Toronto was the only one
- of the eight that received only ONE no, however. All others received at
- least two.
-
- Toronto and Portland are neck and neck. Of the people returning the forms,
- either on the list or directly to me, 3 ranked Toronto #1, 1 ranked it #3,
- and 1 ranked it #5. On the returned forms, Portland received 1 #1 ranking,
- 1 #2 ranking, 1 #3 ranking, and 1 #6 ranking. In addition, it received
- 2 votes from people who didn't use the form, thus putting it in a tie
- with Toronto with 3 #1 votes. Toronto received 1 no. Portland received
- 2 nos.
-
- Here's a quick summary of the other rankings:
- Boone, NC: 5, 4, 2, no, no
- Elsehwere, NC: 1, 4, 7, no, no
- Edinburg, TX: 7, 8, no, no, no
- Galway, Ireland: 1, 3, no, no, no
- Elsewhere, Ireland: 2, 2, no, no, no
- Starkville, MS: 6, 8, no, no, no
-
- By a point system of 1=8, 2=7, 3=6, 4=5, 5=4, 6=3, 7=2, 8=1, and no= -5,
- Toronto and Portland come out tied at 30.
