RE: Proxyvote.com

Rene, this is not directed at you.

Paranoia in our society: We have no problem handing over our Platinum Visa to the desperate college student who is your waiter at a restaurant where he can get your number, expiration date and signature. He can disappear for twenty minutes with your credit history and when he comes back you give him a 15% tip for ripping off your Visa number, 20% if he did it quickly and kept your coffee hot.

I think of this analogy whenever anyone starts worrying about Internet security.

I received the proxyvote.com information from E*Trade. Believe me, if someone wants to work this hard to gain the proxy votes on my lot of shares and they've gotten this far, I say they deserve it.

I think people need to use common sense before acting on information they read over the Internet. As far as proxyvote.com goes, all they got from me was the ID number they supplied.

BTW, I got email confirmation of my votes via auto reply to email address within 10 minutes.
