Actually, this is a good point (of sorts).

There'd have to be a mechanism that prevented somebody like Greg Hackney
from voting once from each system in his subdomain.  (Greg is the SWB
High Lord Muckity Muck Usenet Person. :-)

Or, Reid at decwrl could decide to arbitrarily hate a newsgroup I suggest,
and vote against it with all of DEC, er Digital's, computers (while 
releasing rmgroups from each machine as well).

Oh well.
