Well....I would have voted, except you have to leave your email address and log in........I am very wary of stuff like this, because in the past when I have done something like this I have been inundated with spam.........I don't really want to join a site that I am unlikely to use again.

I appreciate what you are saying but there is a facility on this site to avoid receiving unwanted emails...please reconsider your decision as all votes are really wanted...Grange

You really should be able to vote for these things without having to sign up........they want your e-mail address...and they may pass it on to other companies in the group..or worse, sell it on.
I know that this sounds petty and cynical, but it happens.

Its an advertising campaign so yes they want your email address.

It looks like you can vote using facebook as well :D

Yes...well, I am not a user of facebook...so I reckon I won't be casting a vote...however good the cause is.

And that is the the reason why I have more than one email address.

My first gmail, I signed up to facebook with it. I viewed it today. 3000+ emails. All saying "invited to join... commented on, commented this that other" I turn off the notifications(of which does not seem to work for me) and still get inundated... so I left that email to facebook hehehe..

It is a right old palaver to have to register and log in just to vote....and whatever the good cause is, it should be possible to vote without all that. I'm sure I won't be the only one who is dissuaded from voting because of this.

Even worse when they say register or sign in using Facebook/Twitter to access this information or post a comment, and there's no other way. That happened to me today.

Sorry Grange but like Margaret I won't be voting - good luck though (if that doesn't sound a bit two-faced). :rolleyz8::sad8::pwub:

It stops people from changing proxy and voting and voting and voting....

and who can be arsed to create and create and create just to vote and vote and vote....

Does hot choc really need a fund? gives me a headache(well cheap stuff seems to)

There was a competition on Amazon recently for some bit of gadgetry....anyway I fancied my chances and was going to give it a go........when I went to the appropriate page it was clear that there was no way to vote if you were not on Facebook......I complained, but the reply I got was the equivalent of 'like it or lump it'.
It left my feathers a bit ruffled...but I hate facebook with a passion.

Facebook has its uses but I have a my days of hate with it.

No Rob.....I can only think of one use for facebook...and it is that of a (greedy, shallow) bad example.
Maybe it is a generational thing....and I'm of the wrong generation.
I detest facebook.......and wouldn't join if they paid me.
