Hey there Henry--

I just forwarded your message, along with a pitch of my own, to the ABAA 
listserv. That's a closed listserv that reaches most of the 450 members of 
the ABAA. Let's see if a few of them vote and change those daily vote 
totals. I know the concept of  voting early and often will appeal to them. I 
may have to buy drinks (and I don't mean Pepsi) for some of my colleagues if 
they do vote, and some of them can really drink --maybe not as much as some 
Twainians, but I'm still a little worried. Any chance grant money can be 
used to buy booze?
