When you think about it, if anything we deserve a commendation for original thinking.

EXACTLY!!!!

Should have known GK would catch the quote

Technicaly it's not cheating, as they never said we couldn't vote twice.

No they just designed the voting system in such a way as to rule out most people voting more than once.

People with one computer you mean. Us priviledged people with more than one computer obviously get the priviledge of voting again. 8)

Actually the number of computers desnt really matter. Its the amount of ISP addresses. So unless your computers run of a different connection it wouldnt matter.

Its just that most of us have a broadband connection that rotates address' everytime it reconnects. I voted 3 times in 5 minutes before I got tired of resetting my internet connection.

If anyone here runs through a proxy they could vote dozens of times an hour.

Okay, fine, those of us priviledged enough to have more than one ISP adress.

or multiple facilities in which to access new ISP addresses.

Exactly.

Aha! After having to format my hard drive, I was able to vote again! Something good came of it after all!!!

See? Every cloud does have a silver lining.

And I found out that my Ultrasurf browser allows me to vote as often as I'd like.

I'm just waiting for Graham to get a complain e-mail about us.

Vote! Vote! Vote! VOTE!

If anybody from over there reads this thread I am gonna be in soooo much trouble.

I suppose I should be a voice of reasonableness in all this, urging honest square dealing. Instead of which I keep telling you all to go cheat as much as you can. I know, I'm a bad, bad man.

But hell, it's a poll on a website, it's not like I'm trying to rig the US elections or anything meaningful here. And for the record, I thought we would maybe score one or two extra votes this way and still lose... I didn't really expect us to win through cheating. But as far as I am concerned this whole thing has been done in a spirit of fun and good humour, with no malicious intent.

If we get caught maybe I could offer some suitably humerous act of contrition...?

Oh please Graham. Rigging the US election would be way easier than this...

Fixed.
