that's the way you
choose to do it, but it seems to be that you could keep a running
total as the votes come in and then it would just require you all to
agree on the result after the deadline. If you all happened to be
online at midnight (incidentally, is it midnight UTC or midnight
British Summer Time?), and by luck you all got the same answer, you
could have the result out in minutes.
I'm not saying we're not going to try to get results out quickly, but
things come up. I'm moving into a new apartment on Saturday, and that
evening might still be busy for me (plus, I might not have internet
access until the next day or even monday morning if I'm particularly
unlucky). I will try my hardest, but I want to make sure people aren't
staying up late into the night with unfounded hopes.
Sure, if it takes a few days it takes a few days, I'm not going to
complain, I just think that it should really only take a couple of
minutes if everything goes well (if you get different results, then it
will take much longer and we'll just have to wait). Of course, if you
lack an internet connection for a couple of days, there's not a lot
that can be done. Good luck with the move!
