If they're the HOF awards, how about 1 vote per membership? That way,
instead of looking at every vote, you just have to look at new signups to
make sure no one's swamping them. And I doubt there are enough
double-subscribers to skew the results.
In other news, I dig chicks with short hair. maybe it's because I have long
hair. Wait! There's the solution! You need a cool ponytail like me,
Mikey!
And stop scaring me with talk about giant plastic penii!
