Disinformation. Fraud. Alt is different. Stupid. Richard. Peter. Jay splut. Jeffd. Tainted vote. Tainted love. Sex, Lies, and Videotape. If you guys really get off to this, and think it's worthwhile discussing what HAPPENED IN THE PAST and why, fine. I suppose this is the place for it. But why not this: rmgroup sci.aquaria and rec.aquaria, and recall for votes without discussion (I think that breaking the rule is ok this time, since plenty of discussion has gone on). So what if the sci vote was fraud - it won't pass this time if it really made a difference. And so what if the rec vote was valid before - it'll pass again if so. Set up mailing lists for a month if you can't do without your fish-fix for a month. You all know who you WANT to hear from anyway, right. Do something, don't just squabble and flame. It's pretty silly. But then such things will occur. If you choose to flame me, fine. I wasn't around when the initial barfing over this occurred, but the rehash is enough for me. Just recall for votes and see again. BTW, send flames in e-mail. They needn't contribute to this fish.frenzy. And by all means, leave alt out of it. (That's the only valid point I've really seen that deals with today's problem). -Spenser -- S.
