[...] I know I can't be the only one who wishes this could be changed to at least 10 or 15 minutes.
I'm among them. Some computing delays are beyond my control. I don't know what combination of browser vs. operating system deserves the blame. In some instances,
30 minutes would not be
too generous.
Maybe this poll will help nudge him to expand the time to edit. I doubt it but never hurts to ask.
Except that your
poll is
badly worded:
How long before the cement dries?
Sigh.
Wording does matter in conducting
polls. For future reference, the grammatical
tense, voice, and
mood [†] of your wording makes it look like a
question of fact, i.e., a terse quiz about what limit is
currently implemented for the "cement". It's inexplicably lacking any words indicating a request for the
wishes of
CathInfo members: No "would you like", or "... prefer", or "... want", or "... wish", &c. And
C.I. displays your poll question--ready for clicking one's vote--physically
above all context except the "I protest" of your
subject text. So you might have
ruined your own poll.
But! Matthew has rendered that possibility
moot, by getting out in front with his
favorable decision, as posted in the past hour (12:41:02 CDT).
I suppose that from Matthew's perspective, he could credit you with the charity
not to have indulged in Greenpeace-like blatant bias, e.g.:
• Do you approve of the
inhumanely brief time-limit by which
CathInfo inexcusably cripples corrective editing by its
thoughtful members of their
own postings?
