Sorry Tom. I was wrong when I first posted the thread and the poll. What you said wasn't what I was thinking at the time. You are giving me far more smarts then what I have.
John was absolutely right in what he said ... and I made the mistake that is seen. I often do make mistakes ... and boy ... do I hate it when I do!
But ... I must say that I did do
all that I could do to edit my error after I first found out about what I had done when
jlw1980 had pointed it out on post #5. I first saw that post that was made about 12 minutes after
jlw had done it. I then posted a quote back to what
jlw had said and I explained somewhat ... and wasn't happy for the mistake I had made. Then I said something about being lost about what to do about 2 minutes later in another post.
Then after doing that, I had managed to figure out at least something I could do about the error another 5 minutes later after having said that I was lost about what to do.
That was when I made an edit that mentioned the wrong thing I had done in my poll set-up ... and I was making a change in the only way I knew how to do it ... and with my hopes that my explanation might be seen first before one would then vote in the existing poll.
I then went back and told jlw1980 in a quote again ... about another 7 minutes later ... about how I probably had made the screw up in the first place most likely. What I said was ....
... I had first written my picks out and then pasted them into the poll afterwards when I was working on the poll. I had a little food interruption though. When I was eating my pizza I was apparently into eating the pizza more than I was about doing the poll correctly. I double copied and pasted instead of using one of the three other names I had ... but hadn't been able to decide on which fella to use.
Tom ... John just didn't see the explanation I gave in the edit for the poll. Some apparently did see the edit and voted in the 2nd Stewart spot for the person I had really intended in being there.
That is all there is to it Tom.
John just didn't see what I had done to correct the whole mess I had made.
John just didn't read quite far enough. That was
his only mistake. I just made a mockery of the poll business that I tried doing today. I'm mad at myself for that.
But
I don't think
John really made the mistake. I'd like to think the real fact is that John saw the humor of my poll situation, with his seeing that I had Stewart down twice and he was getting votes from two sources ... and figured that there are probably some people that may not of noticed the same thing he had, and they voted intending for Stewart maybe twice when they voted there ... hense ... John made his comment to acknowledge the double votes in that special dry way he shows his humor.
I like John's humor.
I would like to think though that people won't take what John said wrongly but only read John's humor as intended ... and not something directed at people that may have voted wrongly as being people that are not quite with the program. Being funny is all he was trying to do.
I realize that the people that really did vote in that second Stewart position only did what I had hoped they would do ... and that was to read my edit of the change first ... and then vote in the second Stewart position for the Actor I had intended instead in my editing ... which is Cary Grant!
We have all kinds of people here that like to just have fun.
I think John is one of the people at the top of that list.
And
Tom ... if you read this ...
I can only wish that I had only
half the
smarts that
you ... and John ... both have, far more than what you
kindly give
me credit for. I appreciate that though and
you are a
true friend to
me.

Geez. 
for YOU!
