<div>Greetings,</div>
<div> While I do appreciate the opportunity of participation in this forum, being such a new member, I did not think it appropriate for me to vote in your poll just yet, as many groups would require a bit of time between joining and voting participation. Please count me as an interested member and understand that I will avidly vote when I am more familiar with the meaning of such votes to the organization.</div>
<div> Thank you for including me, none-the-less!</div>
<div>-Karl E. Peters</div>
