I can imagine that the person who is about to be voted off the list would bother a hell of a lot... Example. I am subscribed through a dozen different addresses and have posted regularly from all of them. Nobody has discovered this yet. Now, your behaviour is such that people want to vote you off the list for a while. I happen to agree with them. My dozen different personalities all vote in favour of banning you. Would you not consider that unfair? Would you not be bothered by the fact that you might very well get voted off because only *one* person (me) wants you gone?
