This concludes the announcement of the winners of the September 2006
Usenet Kook Awards. Fifty people submitted fifty-one ballots. Both
duplicate ballots were discarded (and both were sent from an anonymous
remailer, too). Another voter used an altered ballot, and thus was
disqualified. Finally, a notorious disenfranchised net-kook also voted
and I discarded his ballot, too. Consequently forty-seven ballots were
counted and four were discarded.
See you all early next month, when the Halloween candy is still fresh.
Until then, enjoy and all hail Ming, Bob, and Fluffy!
