That is actually how it was brought to my attention in the first place. Someone asked me to go there and vote for Linux, and I thought plugging Jordan in instead might be a good idea. After seeing the stats you get afterwards, however (AFTER I wrote the original mail) we would have an extremely hard time coming up with 50,000 people to vote in that direction to be able to displace the others on the list. :-) You could, I suppose, write some scripts to hit that page up a few thousand times with the appropriate poll-bending information (which I would not doubt in the least has already been done, if you look at some of those figures). ;-> -- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@inter-linc.net --- cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us /* Powered by FreeBSD, the best operating system on the planet.
