All those in favor of this, post YEA.

All opposed post NEA.

All who don't give a **** because it really doesn't matter anyways ( ), don't post.

Yeah, cool. It is nice to see another person who didn't rush to judgement. Not that I think the idea is great, and I've outlined my reasons why,
but I appreciate the effort of the idea, and don't think people should necessarily be slammed down for trying new things. And I also think a vote is appropriate, to be fair. That is a good way to discern what people really want.
My point being, what if someone does come up with a new, great idea? It shouldn't be slammed out of hand. It should be slammed based on its merit! I haven't talked with Mr. Ryan recently, but I have just been reminded of one of my favorite things about him - openness. He's a nice guy, he listens to everyone, and then makes his judgement based on his opinion of the best things. Perfect, that is what everyone should do.

I have decided, for outlined reasons, that this isn't the best idea. But I don't know everything in the world, and don't represent the tastes of everyone.
The Ledge is super great, but I bet in part it was made so by the new ideas of various people. Not everyone has the best idea, but no one will know if you don't put your idea out there. Just saying. Right? Yeah? Someone could have the most brill idea ever, but if we are closed to the possibilities, and already think something is perfect - well, then we have become Stevie and her ideas of setlists. Which as we all know, is counterproductive and suckulous.

Goodness help the person who thinks anything is perfect.
