Re: [adhoc] vote today, please

Dear John,

I WILL vote on this today, but I'm in the middle of exams etc. so cannot have a
final look at it till this evening. Given that I am probably 6-7 hours ahead of
you, it may NOT be quite at the end of business - but then what time is? I'll
get it in before midnight my time anyway, so that should be around 5 pm your
time - I think...
