Derek does have a point;
a few years ago an individual made dubious use of lists to solicit proxy votes in his favour. not only was the email to me unwelcome it may have breach data protection act.
It is good to ensure as many votes as possible are cast and proxy votes are a fair way to ensure this so Dicks point is valid too.
