So it is perfectly reasonable to now have one of the "classic" months changed to something else.

A continuation in my appeal for having one of the classic months changed:

12 to 10 = Advantage = unequal opportunity.

Alternates: Young Adult, Historical Fiction, Award Winning Works.
EDIT: Yes, we had a vote that said 20 to 12 for two months of classics, but we also had a vote that said 17 to 10 for Hidden only polls, yet here we are with a run-off vote that was tied, and a compromise for every 3rd month being open... that's right a COMPROMISE.
Well we would still have one month of Classics, its not like we're getting rid of it altogether.
