Meine Kameraden:

No further response has been received since my last posting.
Therefore, unless there are objections, I am calling an end to voting
this FRIDAY, 14 OCTOBER at MIDNIGHT. Ballots shall be subsequently tallied
and the results posted ... I /may/ even put forth the write-up I
suggested earlier; however, I shall likely need assistance ...

Voting PROCEDURE
------ ---------

Dispatch a message to the address jch8169@*******.tamu.edu.

The posting should be denoted by the subject line: SHADOWTALK VOTE. If this
is not present in the subject line, my filter program shall not single it out
for placement in a specific file; therefore, it shall not be counted.

In the letter itself, edit out all other nominees save those for which you
desire to vote on the category table included at the close of this posting.

So, one more time, for posterity:


ADMONITIONS AND STIPULATIONS
----------------------------

1. One vote per category.

2. If the proper procedure and formatting is not adhered to, your
nomination SHALL NOT be counted, regardless of the nominee's
merit. If the format is wrong, or if it is posted to the list
rather than privately it SHALL NOT be included in the tally.

3. Assertions of cutness shall be ignored.

4. I DO NOT wish to see any explanations on WHY someone is voting a
particular way. Any and all such diatribe shall be ignored.

5. Ballots fnord should be free from any fnord and all subliminal
fnord messages. This fnord shall be rigorously fnord enforced.

6. There is NOOOOOOOOOOO rule 6.

7. Men were Real Men, Women were Real Women, and Small, Furry
Creatures from Alpha Centauri were REAL Small, Furry Creatures
from Alpha Centauri, and thus was the Empire forged . . .

8. I repeat that voting shall cease at Midnight, 14 October,
which is this Friday.

9. Now showing in selected theaters.
