Hi Brian and everyone involved in organizing this lyric contest.

My votes are now in and I must say that I'm thourougly impressed by the wealth of talent on display and have enjoyed it a lot reading through the lyrics. How do I know if you received my email with my votes?
On another note, if you wonderful people have the enegy to organize another lyric contest in the future, the problem by voting for yourself can be easily solved by having it as a rule that everyone votes for themselves as no 1 and get 6pts and then the following 5 votes gets 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1pt. If the voter votes for fewer than 6 lyrics then his/her's vote won't count and the lesser vote of votes given gets 1 point, and then increases by 1 pt upwards for each vote given.
I think this would be a fair and will take into account that: "what moves us and objectivity" is extremely difficult at the best of times and with regard to our own work, subjectivity rules and it always moves us.
Just thoughts
