Joe The individual shareholders have seen such dilution that our "NO" vote holds little weight. Custer and his colleagues have the say now. They're soon to be nearly umpteen million strong. PS.

Joe, you should look at your proxy material. Where do you mail the proxy? There's usually a third-party that's hired to handle these things. not Price-Waterhouse, mind you (I think that's reserved for Miss America and Publisher's Clearing House:) ) but at least it's normally not the company. Normally not CPAs, I beleive, but just unlicensed companies that are basically in the vote-counting business. Companies do it this way because it's a hassle to open all those envelopes. :) Of course, you get to vote if you show up. You can normally revoke your proxy at the meeting, as well, if you have already voted. The company does the final count.
