You could see this coming couldn't you? Yes it's a ME TOO - Aaargh!

We all make mistakes - it's human nature. Some times I think people are just so excited about having their say, they simply forget. If the original posting has a wrong heading, the replies will often continue with the same heading.
Or maybe some of us are just a bit thick! Perhaps a monthly award could be made for 'most improved subject heading writer', with an honours list.
Question - Is it possible for one person to vote several times on the survey? I didn't try this myself. It would make a mockery of the process wouldn't it?
Also - to what extent is the outcome of the survey affected by the . (dot) being in the 'Yes' position to start with? Do people find this 'forces their arm'?
