Perhaps your browser did not refresh the page and is showing you a cached
copy of the page. Hit Refresh or Reload on your toolbar.

That would alter the fundamental order of the universe - likely leading to a
complete collapse of time and space into a singularity. Sorta like hitting
"reset". And who knows what the next universe will be like? MegaBloks may
be the ultimate toy....
The voting system is pretty primitive. One IP - one vote. If the people
you work with all share a common IP, then guess what? They will be
discarded. I have no other way of doing it. If they really want to vote,
then they have to do it from a machine with a unique IP address. Sorry, but
that's just the way it is(1) - at least until some supreme court somewhere
tells me otherwise.

an all-expense paid trip there and consider it done. :-)
