Bill,
Thanks for your cooperation. The voting utility seems to be functioning
well. In addition to being easy to use, it keeps a list of "registered"
voters and also one of the people who actually vote. Two polls have
been created. One has been ended and the results mailed. One vote has
been set up with the calendar utility and a timely reminder was sent to
the list with the voting deadline prominently displayed. In addition, a
database with participating member's personal info. has been set up.
Some small bugs have been worked out but overall there are no major
problems.
The response from virus members has been pretty good. And, your
participation in all of this is appreciated.

Hey there Brett, nice initiative! Sorry I didn't look earlier, i did not get online after about 3:00 on Friday. I pretty much feel the same way Dan and Carl feel, but agree that this is a good "test bed". It worked fine for me and I would use such a system if all else was good and agreed on. Not much else to say - Im catching up with the last few days posts.
