I'm sure any one of them would have welcomed questions you may have had. Why don't you get to know candidates that way instead of not voting. All the candidates has more exposure this year than every before. The rules used to be --no advertising in the Review ,but a personal letter ONLY could be sent out by the nominee, if he paid for a membership list. Well--this year, apparently, anything went - Someone sent out a long questionnaire to all of them which was answered and published on the Internet,and each posted a Bio on our List. I know I was very upset that all rules re promoting the nominees were apparently lifted or just disregarded,and no one stopped it . So I can't believe anyone would use the excuse that they knew nothing about them ,so didn't vote Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
