That's not exactly what I observe myself -- I work for one of these companies, but I still am highly sceptical of the technology, and I know others are, as well. But I agree with the sentiment. It's part of the reason why I strongly feel like the vote needs to be secret, so that voters feel free to voice their honest opinion even if it was different to their employer's stance. I don't want anyone to fear any kind of retribution. Patrick
