My guess: I can't imagine you voting for Pat Buchanan of the Independant party (then again, I can't imagine anyone who isn't ultra-conservative voting for him), and you say you didn't vote for Bush or Gore... That leaves the Libertarian and Green parties. Regrettably, I don't remember the Libertarian candidate. I would guess you probably voted Libertarian. Just a guess though. > And am I the only one? You should know better than that. Everyone here who was present in 2000 should know that I voted for Ralph Nader in the 2000 election. :-) Michael Harney [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
