[ale] OT: Go Vote!

[Thompson Freeman]

Well, if I may, here is an extra smiley for you 8-).

Looking back, what I wrote was _wide_ open for a mangled

better. No insult/harm/offense intended or percieved.

Returning now to the original post - if you have the option  
of voting today, please do so.
