Message comes with header "Confirm your vote", so a firewall that is
over-zealous catching "confirm your account" type emails will can it.

I suspect that we're supposed to do this every day- I'm sure that
Certain Corporates will have no compunction at using multiple votes.

Thanks for the support guys, if nothing else, this week has been memorable. :)

It seems I lied on my entry--my little brother didn't have my old
capsule models. They were actually still back in my childhood bedroom:

though :)

Note to self: buy Mom new camera.

Cut the trees and you'll see there is no forest.

Thanks so much to everybody who voted. I really can't express my gratitude.

I'd love to head to the pub and buy everybody a drink, but I think
that might cost more than the flight.

What they didn't tell you, is that they needed a cheap expendable DBA
for a dangerous top secret mission...

Haha! that gave me a laugh...

I voted for Joe, and I'm amazed he won; I did not think he stood a
chance, considering the web site had SQL Server logos all over the
place.

Maybe you're right, it must be trap (just kidding, Joe).
