Why would they want us to Vote?

It all comes down to who has the most voting power... There are 27,000,000 shares outstanding (i don't what outstanding is defined as).  33% of those are held by institutions (at least that is what quicken says) I would venture to say that Allaire Corp. itself, and its founders/employees/major investors have another 33% of the shares. (just a guess... it is likely MORE) If those big groups want it to happen, our little 2 or 3 hundred shares (or maybe you have a couple thousand?) mean very little in the weight of the voting.  Unless you have enough shares to have to register with the SEC when you buy and sell, you're votes probably don't matter much.  Just my opinion... I don't mean to dissapoint anyone and I certainly don't claim to be anything but a novice on the whole thing... just a realist.  (nice disclaimer huh?  i like it! :) cheers! Bruce A. Kibbey It says that not voting counts as a "no" vote for the merger.
