You send votes privately to me.  DO NOT SEND VOTES TO THE LIST.  They will
not count if you do.  Voting will start tomorrow, Tuesday, June 16.  If
you entered a poem or two, you will have two votes -- one for one of your
own poems and one for a poem other than one of your entries.  If you vote
for both of your own, both votes will be disqualified until you follow
voting rules.

If you don't have entries, you have one vote, for the poem you think is
the winner.  Voting will be June 16 through midnight, June 30, your time.

I would like to have a volunteer who has NOT entered the contest verify
the vote count.

Entries may be sent until midnight tonight, June 15, your time.  If they
come in late, they won't be posted until tomorrow morning, so please hold
off voting until I send a final list of entries.

We are apparently having server problems here today and have had some very
bad weather with tornadoes.  So please be patient if you don't hear from
me.  I'll get word to the list somehow if there's a problem.
