Hello guys, yes, ive yet again updated my Ballon d'Or, but my votes are pretty much the same as they were before, so dont care too much about changing them.
Thanks for the reply mate - in hindsight (if thinking about possibility for people changing votes potentially and the project going on for as long as it did before final results were to be presented) I think it would have been a good idea if I added your votes to a spreadsheet from the start, but I guess the situation with your votes is not very different to the one for Titanlux (who might still change a few things yet for latter years) - the votes recorded for you are very similar to your latest update and there would be very minimal effect on IceBlood's final standings even if we were able to factor your newest changes in I guess. So probably it's a reasonable call to consider your previous votes (after the initial revisions were taken account of) as the ones we can use. Obviously it's understandable that you continued to tinker with the positions for your website, according to adjusted insight and suchlike, or desire to expand the lists a little, though.
