I agree with what you had to say. The final vote was too important to put at the end of a thread -- I certainly would have missed it.
This vote kept two Congressman from being at our Banquet tonight so that is the first thing I wanted to see when I got home -- the outcome of the vote.
I searched the 'end' of the 7000+ thread for the vote count. Finally clicked on to this thread and got the info I was looking for.
