I feel more comfortable killing an imperfect motion and starting over rather than trying to amend one on the fly.
I similarly agree and voted “no” as well — and that is no April Fool’s Day joke.

It is not like members of the TalkBoard are inundated and vote on several issues every single day; so taking the time to vote down a flawed motion to craft a better one serves the best interests of FlyerTalk members, in my opinion.
