Thank you for the reminder; here's one for you.  What is this about being "repeatedly told"...this is the first time that someone has brought this issue up with me.  The reason that I place a vote in an AfD that I start is because many times, folks submit articles for AfD out of process rather than because they actually want the article deleted.  I have done this a number of times in the past, which is why I like to make the differentiation.  Is it really a problem to include "Delete as nom. ~~~~" in an AfD?   (talk contribs friendly)
