[POINTERS] On Vulis' net background

Some *very* informative background data may be found at:

Of course the title KOTM may also have been fraudulently obtained (if USENET 
vote forgery bears any relevance...)
see: "Fraudulent votes from bwalk.dm.com cited" in (are we surprised?)
news.admin.net-abuse.misc   Here's a pointer to one archive:

Still more on this rather silly topic:

I don't know if anyone ever figured out who was forging votes for whom - 
the May '96 KOTM award was hotly contested, with forgeries flying every 
which way. If you have way too much time on your hands, read all about it 
at: http://www.wetware.com/mlegare/kotm/winnersk96.html#may96

Supposedly I won by a 30-vote margin over David C Lawrence (the moderator
of news.announce.newgroups), which I'm very proud of. Do take a look at
this site and at Misha Verbitsky's archives (taking everything with a
grain of salt). It makes good reading.

BTW, are _you related to http://206.250.116.19/~netscum/conwayc0.html?

Ah, but did you forge votes FOR yourself??

No, that's an entirely different diseased marsupial. No relation. Nice try, 
though.

Now knock off this silly shit. Legare's not going to give you a second 
term this easily.  :)

You have a very strange sense of accomplishment.

Good question.  That's what Legare seems to claim in his web page.
Of course we KNOW that all 600 congressmen and senators REALLY
voted from their addresses at bwalk.dm.com...

I was cc:'d about 400 votes for David C Lawrence - should I send
them to this mailing list?
