Limiting vote by IP addresses won't work... for those with a dial-up connection only need to disconnect/reconnect to get a new one. Then there is the strong possibility of people sharing the same internet provider, and therefore will probably have similar IP ranges... Also - for those who are on a home network sharing an internet connection with other members of their family - they will all have the same IP address (unless their internet provider allows more than one IP addy per user) Then there are people like myself, whose internet provider (for some ungodly reason) decides to recycle IP addresses every now and then... It would only theoritically work if EVERY user had a STATIC IP address... which ain't gonna happen anytime soon... lol! How about the simple method... if you are that concerned about the "quality" of the works in the Hot 20 - YOU just make it a dialy ritual to get in here and vote for the works that you'd like to see there. It's all well and good to want the votes for one's own works - but if one doesn't vote onesself, then one really can't complain... can one? T.

Who? Me?
