inside the bracket next to the restaurant's name.  The number followed 
followed by the colon is the restaurant's number in our database.  If you 
don't want to vote for a restaurant, leave it blank or delete the lines 
that refer to that restaurant.  The program looks for the START_BALLOT and 
END_BALLOT lines, so don't delete these lines.  

If you would like to make a comment about the restaurant, you have one line 
to describe the restaurant.  

If you would like to send suggestions or comments about the format of the 
listings, please put them at the start of your message.  The person quickly 
scans each message before turning it over to the program, so it's best to 
catch its attention as soon as possible.  

If everything works properly, you should get an automatic acknowledgement 
back from the program that reads the votes.
