Sure, but no matter what happens with the vote the original reactions, some of which were good, are still going to be there for all to see anyway. There is absolutely no guarantee of that, and given ED's form and the nature of the posts already in there from the mods it's probably unlikely that someone showing their disapproval won't get banned or suspended and their posts disappear along with them because that's how that place operates. People have already been warned about raising the same point over and over again or getting involved with scenarios that aren't specifically relevant to them. Just think about it...someone that is raising the obvious concern about serving armed forces personnel who often have extended periods of time without internet connectivity (and certainly a lot longer than 3 days).....do ED only want to hear from those people out in Afghanistan right now....the same people that don't have any internet connectivity. Perhaps ED are manning the encrypted satellite phones and are awaiting their calls when there is a short break in the ongoing operation?

What do you have now? I have an extensive collection of no longer in use keyboards. I might even have something that you might like better. Trust me, mate, I've been looking. I have an old Logitech Wave cordless keyboard. Every now and again, I browse the keyboards and mice section of the local Curry's or Maplins or my online sellers and nothing really stands out. I'm not much of a fan of RGB or MX switches... Ah well. I am a fan of Cherry switches. Even the silent ones are sweet. Wireless for games is a no go for me. My Das Keyboard and Razer Blackwidow do me well. Of course, I love the click of the ancient terminal keyboards that I first used with a computer.

The good ole Model M Ah yes. And you could pound a nail with it if needed. EDIT: Yes, a little thread derailment is a good thing. It helps maintain perspective.

Vote seems to be now 61 users say 30 days and 60 users say 60 days. So It's probably gonna be 10 days The vote is irrelevant. ED is going to do what they want. It will be interesting to see what happens in the long run.

You know them to well !! This was not an ED/TFC Official Poll. Results are meaningless. Carry on with your 3 days and connect up people
