G'day Bill,

Replying to a message of Bill Grimsley to Jeff Green:

I'd say that you're correct about the recount. I haven't heard a thing down
here about anybody screaming for a recount to be done, so I assume they've
either done it or are doing it.

It might get interesting if they found nine votes counted wrong :-)
