Simplifying Pricelessware Slogan Vote

[Night2000]

This voting process for the Pricelessware slogan shouldn't be as
complicated as it currently is. There are currently 3 proposals at the
moment.

1. Original Slogan:
"The best of the best in Windows© Freeware as
determined by the readers of alt.comp.freeware."

2. Revised Slogan Proposal:
"The best of the best in Freeware for Windows©
(and other OS) as determined by the readers of alt.comp.freeware."

3. Preferred Proposal of some of the ACF members:
"The best of the best in Freeware as determined by the readers of
alt.comp.freeware."

Why not re-start the vote with these 3 choices and the most voted
choice wins? Or just count the votes already given?

It really makes no sense to pit choice 1 vs 2 then have the winner
take on choice 3. As it stands now choice 3 appears to be the most
popular.

I also vote for choice 3.
"The best of the best in Freeware as determined by the readers of
alt.comp.freeware."

Look at it this way, even if choice 1 was to win over choice 2.
The people voting for choice 2, will vote for choice 3, if pitted
against choice 1.

In my opinion I believe choice 3 to be the most logical. Linux is more
popular now, then back when the original Pricelessware slogan was
created. There are many more programs available for Linux users.
There are already some Linux applications listed on the Pricelessware
list, and will only get bigger as time goes on.

The only option that I can see is to have two Pricelessware lists.
one for Windows, and one for Linux. However, I would imagine that
managing two lists would be a lot more work.

Better yet, simply advise there is a poll on the PL site where the vote
can be taken without the need for all this bickering. Fewer post and a
clean vote.

I like this one the best. The slogan should not be Windows-centric. Why is
"freeware" capitalized? How about "PC freeware" or something? Yes, #3 for
me.

This voting process for the Pricelessware slogan shouldn't be as
complicated as it currently is. There are currently 3 proposals at the
moment.

The original vote submitted by Garrett only had 2 choices. When I cast my
vote I chose between the 2 presented. A 3rd option was presented by some of
the participants, but since it wasn't in the original proposal for vote I
did not consider if a valid choice. I chose to leave the slogan as is in
the original vote thread, but if given a choice between these 3 I'd chose #
3.

IMO you can't change the choices on a ballot after the voting has begun;
it's not fair to those who already voted or will vote based on the original
ballot.
