Do you live in the same city as where the proxy was mailed from? That may explain why you received it so soon? Mine had to get mailed half way across Canada. Likely got handled a few times and then you run into a weekend. It is not unusual if you hit the weekend at the wrong time to take at least 5 business days plus the weekend.
Molyplay in all honesty I was going to vote this morning, therefore I left it in my office. When I got home and read the posts of a few suggesting that it had to be done today (Thursday) there was no way for me to get at it so therefore I did not vote last night. Tried first thing this AM and you go through the entire voting process then it says something like "not eligible". Therefore I did not vote.
