USA Weekend poll...P&B supporters using some sort of spam script...

Hey guys,

We're down to 55% of the vote again, and when I was busy voting Chicago-style there was someone who was voting for P&B with what seemed to be some sort of spam script. It went up from 10000 to 10500 very quickly.

We need someone with the means to do likewise. Otherwise we are going to lose this one big time.

A person using Netscape with cookies turned off has no hope of competing with stuff like this.

Take care,

Looks like they're fighting fire with fire, eh? IMO, a lot of excessive voters had this coming to them: What goes around comes around.

I'd have preferred a fair & square win to the cheating votes, anyway.

There's probably a lesson to this... I can't quite define it, but there's always a lesson, right? Oh, well.

Yes, but that's not going to happen. We take what we can get. :)

Not at all. You're only expressing your opinion.

Yes, just remember this simple rule: If the enemy starts fighting dirty, then it's automatically legal!

Ah, good. I've seen other newsgroups shun and denounce newbies stating their opinions.

Then again, doing so would be very hypocritical for this group, wouldn't it? :)

In other words, once hostilites have escalated, it can only continue until one side wins... but judging from what I've seen on this NG... well, we started it...

There are many possible lessons, each with its own attitude. Moral: cheating is bad. Cynical: if you're going to cheat, cheat well. Realistic: it's just a poll and doesn't mean much. Pessimistic: of course Daria wasn't going to win, good shows always fail.
