Extremely doubtful Mr. Williams;

You seem to have missed the point that I want no charge and no hassle for
people/users to be able to vote.

I believe a list of the 300 thousand or so cyber cafes is a far better Outreach
program.  Look at it this way, if they verify they get to keep the info and build a
dandy little data base that they can then use and it is all neighborly. Shoot they
would even have a reason to promote but only so long as they were real people who
could be customers.  Also if during the vote I am in Sri Lanka I could drop in and
vote no problem.

Sincerely,
Eric
