Re Andy Easton's question: Answer: Frankly, I don't recall the format of earlier AOS ballots because it never seemed worth the effort to read them or send them in. I do know, however, what formats are considered acceptable for shareholder ballots by pension funds, environmental groups, experts on corporate ethics, etc. who have a fiduciary responsibility to their constituencies, and I have seen many shareholder ballots. The format requires that votes can be withheld from any nominee or nominees individually and therefore from all the nominees. There are obvious reasons why this requirement is considered an essential for proper governance. Do you think otherwise? David Grove
