Can anyone tell me why these 5 people havn't posted their ballots?
If they're not intrested in the outcome of the contest, why bother!?!
Should lazyness be rewarded? Should the rest of us be kept waiting? Are we

Any way, to prevent that some of us lose intrest, I'd say the results of the
contest should be announced before midnight december 31.
