There have been some changes in the voting scheme at IntellecXhibitionst. I think it relates to irregularities in voting patterns I observed yesterday, before they took down the "see results" link from the polls. That was why I put in my jibe, "Per computer. Per day." I would, of course, never suggest undermining a fair election, but just evening the playing field is a different matter, isn't it? So go and fulfill your duty as a denizen of the Bloggernacle. Vote early. Vote often. ;-)
Posted by: Dave | Jan 25, 2005 at 03:15 PM
Well, The Heather Show won the category . . . which is a bit odd considering it doesn't really blog on Mormon themes and was largely unknown until the voting. I was also amused by the comment left on the site that read something like "Heather, I voted for your blog, but I have never seen it and can't find it." Nothing like an informed electorate to give a reliable result.
In other blog news, IntellecXhibitionist has somehow fallen off my blogroll . . . Oh well.
