[Lisa Camasi]

Let's see.  It's nearing the end of the semester here in the northern
hemisphere, which means exams to prepare for and papers to
write/evaluate.  It's well past the middle of the 1st term in the southern
hemisphere too.  Most of us are busy, have a tremendous amount of
administrative work to attend to and have lives away from our
professional/academic responsibilities as well.  Such a minor oversight as
hitting the 'reply' button hardly seems to warrant such a rude and arrogant
indictment of a person's intelligence.  It must have taken more effort to
write the post below than to just hit the 'delete' button the couple of
times required!  As to the suggestion that ignorance somehow invalidate's
one's vote, the 2000 presidential election here in the US provides rather
robust evidence to the contrary.
