One - Count the one you have (comment #1 here, transferred from the Discussion). I don't think that the ballot itself is lacking anything. I listed my top ten picks.
Two - If I do this again - put up a ballot on the Discussion Thread, and the deadline for voting passes, then just use the one you have! Remember, it can be, literally DAYS before I can even get here to comment or put up another ballot. It's not like I haven't been trying. It's just taken, literally, days to finally get here. For some reason, BTF's BlogPen hates my guts. I can always comment on Newsstand or anyplace other than BlogPen.
Thanks - Brock
who is 6th on your ballot?
I hope to see you return or at least not gone for too long. We need all the voters we can get. It's like losing Ted Williams on the old Veterans Committee. Who's gonna pound the table & argue for Dom Dimaggio?
