<DIV>I usually stay in the background, but I vote for which ever rescue we agree on at the beginning. I have noticed we are number 5 in the nation right now, and I have the feeling just a few more votes and we could become number 4, number 1 in SC. It would become impossible for us to make you number one, this late in the game, but it might be possible to beat Mccormick County, if you joined us with your regular voters. Next quarter, please put the Carolina rescue in the mix to be voted for, I would vote for you then. Just a thought, and I have no problem voting with whom ever the group picks. Please accept my apologies if I have offended anyone.</DIV>
