The deadline you set was Sunday, November 16th, Chris.

My calendar and my computer say that today is Saturday, November 15th.

I don't know who else you didn't hear from. I, for one, had planned to vote
today.

Argh! So much for off to a good start. My apologies to all. I can only
plead serious distraction over the last week or so and I lost focus today
with a flare-up in family crisis. There were seven potential voters who
didn't have a chance to vote, something I should have noticed. I don't
think this has been my worst round but it's close. There's not much cure
except to continue as though the round had ended normally and I'll go off to
sit in the corner with no electronic devices for the rest of the day.

Things happen. I think we'll all forgive you. It is, as we have reminded
ourselves in the past and doubtless will in the future, only a game.

I hope your family crisis will be favorably resolved.
