Hmmmm...it seems I'm 'forbidden' to enter the site at the moment.  A couple
days ago, it said the voting would be down for a few days for 'maintenance.'
Looks like they're overhauling the whole thing or something.  So what did
they say?

I get the impression that the Glasters folks are taking this vote thing a
little too seriously (if indeed they're trying to change something with this
'maintenance' to prevent stuffing).  Or maybe they're getting a lot of mail
from people who are themselves taking it too seriously?  Any person with a
second grade education and even a hint of knowledge about the internet
would've known beforehand that this voting booth would produce nothing other
than a binomial distribution distinguishing the ballot-box stuffers from the
completely oblivious.
