It's not like ya'll can claim traveling (everyone logged in between the time the vote opened and the time frame was questioned) or not getting to FT. That means that either people took that long to make up their minds (which I don't for a second believe) or someone (or sometwo, or somethree, etc) were dragging the vote out.

I asked (in another thread) if TB members would indicate that they had voted already as opposed to who they had voted for. Nobody did.

It's more than a bit disingenuous to insinuate "second guessing without knowledge of the facts" when the Talkboard is not forthcoming with facts--by design, Randy, or otherwise. "Trust--but verify" makes for sound policy. Prove to us that the vote was close late--can't do it. In the absence of any other information, the "delaying tactic" theory holds exactly the same amount of water (to the drop!) as "trust us," since us peons cannot verify either one.
