On 2 Jul 1999 15:32:37 GMT, Adam James Fitzpatrick <afitzpat@mail.usyd.edu.au> stood bolt upright, cried "Bloody Priceless" before collapsing back into a heap. Fortunately, a passing werewolf made the following wry observations while he slept: >Julian Buczek <buczek@iname.com> wrote: >>Ian Galbraith wrote: > >>>A big WOOHOO, it passed. 161 Yes votes 22 no votes, and 3 abstentions. > >>... and 6 forgeries were detected. > >Your point being? > >Of the 6 "forgeries" noted in the result, 5 look like the sender forgot >to remove their "nospam" from their email address before voting (one of >them noticed later and corrected it). Actually, IIRC I inadvertantly posted a vote without removing my "spamblocker" and then resubmitted later (when I didn't receive word of my vote back). I guess that makes me a forger, woo-hoo! I actually have four valid email addresses but resisted the urge to vote mulitple times (apart from my error above). IMO, that would be the most likely way for forgeries to get through, and it would be almost impossible to notice. I might note, though, that less than 200 votes all up were submitted - a vote of apathy, really. ...W -- Warren "Chacmul" Tully <*> wtul1DELETETHIS@students.latrobe.edu.au (Please remove my spamblocker "DELETETHIS" to email me) Do not meddle in the affairs of Wazzas, for they are subtle and quick to anger. Note: All postings I make on Buffy or Babylon 5 are merely speculation. --
