You lost me somewhere. Are you talking about the poll that is somewhere earlier in this thread and relates specifically to the class insignia on the sails and boats? The poll that only received 11 votes worldwide?

As I think I have observed to you before, democracy does not seem to function well in the sailing world. But it is very nice of you to make the effort.

Just a suggestion: Maybe it would be easier for people to vote in the future if you make the voting poll a post of its own, instead of the poll being buried in another thread. And get Rick to sticky the poll at the top of the F16 forum for a given period of time, so people can find it. Something that says, "F16 Member Vote Required Here on X Topic."

Maybe people still would not vote, but at least they would not have the excuse of not being able to find it or not even knowing it was there or not remembering that it was there. And you would be able to easily refer people back to its specific location, even in the midst of discussions about the subject that might crop up in that same thread or other threads.

Believe it or not, most people are not paying attention to this forum all the time. If I had just arrived here, I would not have a clue what you are talking about as far as "the poll" or "voting has now ended."
