Thanks for posting this Arnold!! I just voted for "None of the above"
but when I went click on the "submit your choice" link, it opened up an
email for me to email the name into:
submitname@usszumwalt.com<mailto:submitname@usszumwalt.com>
So in addition to voting for "None of the Above" (which is winning, I
notice! :-)))) folks should be sure to email the USS Robert A. Heinlein
to "submitname@usszumwalt.com<mailto:submitname@usszumwalt.com>" (one
email per person, please, even if
you have 8 aliases ;) don't stuff the ballot box, that's cheating and
RAH would not approve.
