Ha, Synchronicity! I came to ff.net expecting to have to dig for the thread (I want the stats about Amazon BBC going up in response to the poll) and found you, Leadb, had brought it to the front page already!

LOL - was listening to BBC overnight the other evening and their marketers were boasting about how frequently their news site is updated... This must be some new meaning of the word frequently.

Won't rest until we've got a ten-point lead...

Well, I finally got off my duff and asked them if there will be a follow-on story to the poll.

I doubt I'll get answered, but if a few of us asked (copy the URL before you hit contact as they do ask for it in the web story comment form)...

I think I might have asked once already; but perhaps if a few folks did around the same time...

And yet... I'm still wanting the ten-point spread...

I think we've proved as much of our point as we're gonna on this one. We got the Beeb to write about us in the first place and we got to the top of their poll too. A ten point spread doesn't really get us anything special. I'll still vote when it comes up but I don't feel the need to shepherd the thread. Unlike on tvvote where there is still something to accomplish.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I was just being silly. I didn't think anybody read this thread anymore. Although, truthfully, I guess I would still like a ten point spread because then I feel I can go away and leave it alone and safe.

I'm sorry, but I can not in good conscience pick Serenity over Blade Runner.

The two pictures they have there are awfully similar, aren't they. Are they trying to say that Wash is like Chewbacca?

I think our first place is about as safe now as it ever will be. Barring some huge uptick in votes for SW that seems rather unlikely.
