- VOTE FRAUD! VOTE FRAUD! Nowhere in the official CVD, Straw-CVD, CFV or the
- E.I.E.I.O. did you say that content of the message would determine eligibility
- of the ballot. Therefore, under rule 124.47 (c) of the official "USENET Guide
- to Flaming and Voting" I declare this a clear case of VOTE FRAUD! Under the
- provisions of sub-paragraph (d) you "may not pass GO!, may not collect $200".
-
- As far as confusing the words "yes" and "no", this CLEARLY shows that the
- populace of the USENET is not intelligent (or old) enough to be allowed to
- vote. What we need is a benevolent group of people to make these difficult
- decisions, a cabal of backbone sites, yea, a Backbone Cabal, that's the ticket!

- You think nobody replies to "flame-bait"? Sheesh! I get more e-mail in a day
- than Craig_Shergold@vms.cis.pitt.edu gets post-cards in a week. BTW: Craig
- is no longer dying and asks for your cooperation in stopping this urban legend.
- He asks that whenever you see the Craig Shergold urban legend you would change
- "Craig Shergold" to "Terry Wood" and "Business Cards" to "$1 bills (or more)".

- Yea, you didn't count "Craig's" vote. VOTE FRAUD! VOTE FRAUD!
