Mike asks
How can you have a voting scheme if you are keeping old data? Without
some type of a time stamp filter wouldn't that sway the results? And
if you are going to filter the data with a time stamp wouldn't an
automatic purge of entries after a certain time period be equally as
beneficial? I'm asking because I am not a database person, much
beyond html & css I'm pretty useless anymore.
I'm sure that EL84 just dropped significantly and would not change if
those who had requested it didn't remove their request.
