On 19 February 2009, Emma Goodfellow wrote in the "Packet" that it was still
time to vote:
"[...]
People have been voting all month to whittle down 180
entries into a shortlist of ten, which will then be voted on by a panel of
judges. All the designs are on display in the Municipal Buildings on The Moor
and a large selection of them can also be viewed on this website by clicking on
the link to the right, under the “related links” green heading.
[...]
Votes can be submitted until Saturday, February 28, when the shortlist will be
passed to the judges to select an overall winner.

where not only is it asserted that Falmouth already had a flag (of unknown and
apparently forgotten design), but the datelines on the stories don't make much
sense either.
