Well I compiled the results by hand and I did not see any sign that stuffing was
happening and find it very hard to believe it did to any serious extent. There
were no more than a handful of single votes for players and a lot of votes had
comments attached. I'm not saying it didn't happen but it would not have been a
quick job. 50 votes is a lot in the scheme of things. Also why mention it now
and not then? or do you approve of your friends action? I still have all the
votes by the way care to suggest some votes that were doubles?
