Nah, I am one of them.  All I did was apply.  Apparently I was recorded 
as being one and didn't even know it.  In those early days I was so 
lacking in web "savy" that I was afraid to submit my votes in fear that 
they would somehow get rejected and become public. And I probably 
applied not even knowing what I was doing. Then after some conversation 
on the mail-list Bill Marrs invited me to be a panel judge.  I pursued 
this idea hoping that it would free me from the pressure of throwing 
together half-baked entries just to be able to play.  I seem to be 
somewhat unusual in this respect in that I enjoy participating in the 
voting process.  In general it seems to be that there is a need to 
stimulate voting.  So I am sure your participation would be welcomed. 
At most they just have to see you posting now and again.  The 
registration process is only in place to prevent rigging the vote.

For the record, I did not participate or vote this round.  Again I think 
that the artmaking process involves both creating the art and 
appreciating it.  But often my interests alternate between the two.
