            <div>Hi Tim,</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>This is a great community with terrific people.  Part
              of the problem is that not everyone reads the list
              reguarly.  We hoped to fix that by making the voting
              period around 2 weeks.  Part of the problem may be that
              some emails didn't get delivered or ended up in SPAM. 
              Most people will ignore that and move on with their life. 
              My hope by pushing the issue is to help raise that issue a
              bit so that people that want to vote get a chance to make
              their voice heard.  Hopefully I didn't overstate the
              urgency!  We do have 4 days left to vote!  Before this
              push we were at 75% of last years vote. Right now we are
              at 83% of last years vote.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>I would like to thank you and all the past board
              members for all your work to help keep this community on
              track!</div>
