In this age of blatant viral campaigns -- e.g., a band putting a link on their homepage asking their fans to vote them up in a "best of" category -- I don't feel outrage on this issue ... although I think it coasts along the edge of ethicality. And I have to ask the question (since I really don't know): was the amount of ballot stuffing that occurred sufficiently large that it could actually swamp legitimate votes? Tom
