Hi LeBob, You said: =============== "I tend to agree with la belle Cheri, it's not worth the battle. John should show some moxie and address this forum, but he probably won't." =============== Yeah. Heh, just to punish myself even more I went and had a look at the list of latest candidates. Based on previous "form" I selected who the winner will be. Then I opened the list of progressive votes and... YEP! The person who I suspect will be the winner was already well in the lead. Duh! I'm a man of principle. I stick to my guns. So, as I stated previously I didn't bother to vote. I admire you Cheri but I won't participate in this again until the inequities are cleaned up, if ever. Gary Simpson (still foamy but not frothing any more)

Heather, ============================================ I am also inclined to believe that WHO's butt your kissing has more to do with the winner than anything. ============================================ Since Bob posted the link and Gary provoked my curiosity about who's leading this week, I went to see, and found something very funny in view of your post. There's an animated ad for a survey on whether you're a good kisser, complete with puckering lips. ROFLMAO OK, you guys, get back to work. This bit of silliness has gone on too long. You'll have me believing in conspiracy theories, and I've never subscribed to those. People win these things because a lot of people like them. I know a lot of wonderful people, but I don't know as many people as some of these other guys, and those many people don't know me, either. Heather, you're right, I have quality friends, and that's far more important. Cheri

Dear Cheri, Just thought you should know, our good buddy Larry is plugging for you this week. And I caved this week and voted for you, lol. (You know why I haven't until now. I will resume my campaign next week!) Anyway, here is his forum link, thought you'd like to know at least one other person likes ya! http://www.adlandpro.com/directad/forumShowPost.aspx?PostID=317811 Sincerely,

Oh Cheri! Darn. You've blown my cover! ================ "You'll have me believing in conspiracy theories..." ================ The grassy knoll, Elvis, SETI... some of my faves. Oddly enough the person running the POTW forum has also recently started a forum on - of all things - CONSPIRACY THEORIES!. I was gonna suggest to him POTW as a discussion point but I couldn't stop laughing about the audacity of doing it. Imagine the reaction. Too funny - LOL! Gary Simpson

Shannon, Thanks, I hadn't seen that. I'm only subscribed to Weird Facts, and that one takes so much of my time I wonder sometimes if I shouldn't leave it. Unfortunately, I'm addicted to the laughs. I'll send him a message thanking him. Thank you, too. Yes, I know why and respect your reasons. I'll take up your campaign, too. Cheri
