Well, I spend my days vacillating between feeling 'like a retard' as
you so elegantly (?) put it, and feeling like a diabolical genius, so
I have a hard time with the assignment no matter what, depending on
the time of day.  ;-)

But seriously, although I voted the way you did (well, in the
preliminary vote, at least... I neglected to vote in round 2, I'm
sorry to report), lots of people *did* vote that way, right?  So,
unless they are like me, they probably did so without feeling
retarded.
