Yes, I am presuming that's Ryan's understanding too. It is still a rush to get this in order by midnight tomorrow night UTC.  (talk) 

Onerous response requirements
Ryan, I don't know whether it was Greg or you or someone else, but we seem to have gone back to requiring users to enter nine preferences/comments and sign each (one for DA, four each for the other two). My change a day ago so that users need only make one entry for each of the month-day and the year questions seemed logical, since, as worded (and presumably uncontested), only one text for each can be inserted into the style guides. Outside people are already pissed that it's so complex. 

Is there some reason we can't go back to the ""state your first preference (#1, #2, #3 or #4), with comments if you wish? Otherwise, it will be just impossible to make sense of. Edit-conflicts and huge scrolling will be the order of the day, even before the impossible task of interpretation. I've left a note linking to her from CKatz's page.  (talk) "
