Official "I will not post tomorrow" thread
Edited on Mon Nov-06-06 02:14 PM by boolean
(Note: This is 99% tongue in cheek...)

The servers tomorrow are going to spontaneously burst into flames while the main routers that handle traffic to them will be so overloaded that every porn site on the planet will have a 70% drop in business...So that being said, I want to officially declare myself as a Non-DU-Election-Day-Poster.

Sure, I'll be lurking (and that won't help!), but the fewer threads to read, the fewer clicks I'll make.

I'm signing right here:
boolean

Anyone else willing to show some self restraint, sign here. If I see your name tomorrow.....well....I can't do anything about it. But I'll shake my fist in the air angrily. (By the way, we need an emoticon to that effect...)

I, ___________, officially declare myself to be a Non-DU-Election-Day-Poster. By declaring myself a Non-DU-Election-Day-Poster, I pledge to not start any threads nor reply to any threads on Election day, November 7th, 2006. By replying to this thread, I agree to have boolean shake his fist in the air angrily at me should I break this pledge.

1. Man
That's a toughie. I'm going to swear to restraint, but if Kyl (or another of his ilk) goes, I'm going to have to let out a whoop.

I promise to keep whooping to a minimum. You have an excellent point. K&R

2. I'll be posting tomorrow
to cheer you all on, because I've already voted absentee and I'm in Canada so there isn't anything I can do to help GOTV. So, if you just take a quick glance at DU in between driving people to the polls and making phone calls, you'll probably see me here.

3. No, no. How else will we find out what's happening on the ground?

We need DUers to post tomorrow.
Personal voting stories of what's happening on the ground are important - dissemination of information is important. Please don't ask people to not post tomorrow.

7. Bummer about the porn sites.
I won't swear to not post at all...but I do plan to LIMIT
my usual 50-a-day nonsense to a more reasonable level.

And no huge JPEGs...I'll promise that!

11. I'm working the polls all day but it sure would help
if people would post their " not meaningful" replies so we can get to the meat of the information.

Would it help if we put the " not urgent"updated information within the state forums?

Then if I want to know the little details about TN for example, I could go to TN Forum

I don't know but it sure will help if we had the links to the websites to get the information for each of our states.

In the Maryland Primaries I was going crazy trying to find the best site there when I live in California.

Just some thoughts...

13. I actually won't be posting here tomorrow...
I'll be working at the polls all day, from 5:30 am to 9:30. :wow:

Sorry to miss the excitement around here, though...
