That could be the case but since they double count subscribers perhaps they have a similar strategy for advertisers: large accounts get large blocks of so-called votes for example. I can see giving subscribers two votes since it is a "readers" poll but if they are indeed selling votes to advertisers that would be a different story. I certainly hope that is not the case but the stench is so overwhelming we can be excused for considering the possibility. =20 -----Original Message----- From: Hoyt, Kurt [mailto:Ku...@me...]=20 Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2003 10:48 AM To: jbo...@li... Subject: RE: [JBoss-user] Survey says... Doesn't BEA have a significant number of employees (or contractors) in India? That might account for an "overnight" change in the number of votes, assuming BEA has some internal campaign going to get votes in.

Subject: RE: [JBoss-user] Survey says... Last night JBoss was ahead by a significant margin and this morning they added another 500 or so votes. I thought that was very strange that so many votes would come in overnight but now all the sudden those additional votes were removed from JBoss and tacked on to BEA. Hopefully they have the voting list independently verified because somebody appears to be doctoring the results when JBoss shoots to the front of the pack. =20 -----Original Message----- From: Rod Macpherson=20 Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 10:42 AM To: jbo...@li...
