I voted for the "thank you" option, and my vote did not show up
anywhere.

Is this election rigged :-)

I warned you all I had not experimented with this feature yet!!
As near as I can tell, the election is (inadvertently) 'rigged'.

I made the mistake of including quotation marks in some of the
descriptions. This apparently confuses the tabulator. Everything
after the first quote mark disappears. This was not a complete
loss for any of the options except Thank You, in which the first
character was a quote mark. I honestly can't say if it is keeping
track of this selection, but not printing it, or ignoring it
completely!! (As for Adrian's complaint, I don't see him listed
under the Virtual Community option)

Should we continue with our damaged poll, end it and start over, or
drop the whole thing and just talk it over? (No, I'm not going to
poll the group to answer this question!!)
