Define "few". And why would you make such a distinction? Do opinions of
relatively silent members matter less than the opinions of the lean, mean,
posting machines?

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?
