Major,

Appreciate your response.  Semper Fi from my end of things.

Son of Pappy, your overactive imagination is fascinating.  My post was a simple call for honesty. 
YOUR post suggests that may be an unfamiliar or unexpected concept to you.  Hope I am mistaken.

This is closer then I expected. Only 2% separates 5th from 2nd. Keep voting!

And currently, 0% separates 2nd and 3rd!  Eeek! I knew Shawn might catch me based on his meteoric rise over the last week, but I was hoping I'd have a little breathing room with two days left! Now I do realize I've been solid at 17% for a week, but  I don't know if that's at 17.49%, or 16.50%...  I'd assume not having moved down in a week that  I've got a little padding above the 16.5% level, but have no way to be sure!

Vote, gets your co-workers to vote, get your (other) friends to vote, hit facebook... I knew the race would get a bit crazy at the end and that I just have to stay in the top 4, but with the last-minute flail I knew 2nd through 4th would dice it up a bit. Please vote and pass it along to others to do the same, just today and tomorrow left!!!

Looks like I should make the finalist list... I finished 2nd with 18% of the vote, and all of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th positions were gaining on the leader.  I can't thank everyone enough for voting for me, you are all awesome!
