To those who aren't receiving your e-mail confirmations: see if your mail program might possibly be putting it in its Spam folder.
The first time I tried to vote, I didn't get the confirmation message (or didn't think I had). A few days later I looked in the Spam folder to see what had accumulated, and there it was! I labeled it "Not spam" to get it out of that folder, and then I sent in the confirmation. So I guess that vote finally counted.
Then a couple of days ago I tried again with my other screen name for my AOL account; went through the process, voted, and waited for the confirmation message, which again I didn't see. I looked in the Spam folder, and sure enough, there it was! I un-spammed it and sent it in, so that's two votes from me for Zazou!
I don't know the criteria on which AOL decides incoming mail is spam. I check the folder from time to time, and usually it's full of ads for V!AGRA or hot stock tips or other such rot. But now and then there's something I actually want to see, so I mark it "Not spam" and then I guess AOL takes it off the list it has for me.

I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
