Yeah, you definitely don't want to make anyone in the least bit upset. Voting outcome is not worth as much as a persons happiness :)
Thanks, Dan Lund To exercise power costs effort and demands courage.

The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance. -Friedrich Nietzsche On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 8:36 AM, Mark Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 10:37 PM, Jim March <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jim, > > First of all, I applaud your efforts and support them.
