What's the policy for people who submitted articles? If we don't
officially have
one, I think everyone who submitted an article should vote for any
article except
their own. If submitters are allowed to vote for themselves, of course
they all
will and their votes will effectively cancel out. I think it's best to
give each
submitter a meaningful vote as to what the best other article is.
There were never any rules about authors of articles not being able to
vote. Since all of us had posted to the newsgroup prior to the
announcement, we can all vote.
I was planning on voting for the best article besides my own because I
think that's the gentlemanly thing to do. But there are no rules as far
as whether you can vote for your own article or not. I.e. if you want to
vote for your own article, there is no rule against that.
