Wake up, fool.  All such replies TO THE NEWSGROUP are and *must*be* ignored.
Verbatim from the rules:

4) ONLY votes MAILED to the vote-taker will count. Votes posted to the net
   for any reason (including inability to get mail to the vote-taker) and 
   proxy votes (such as having a mailing list maintainer claim a vote for 
   each member of the list) will not be counted.

If there was a *real* request for votes (I didn't see one), explicit
instructions are contained therein on WHERE to email the vote to.  If
it's a REAL vote, it's also generally re-broadcast once or twice during
the 21 to 31 day voting period, so if the old message has been scrubbed
from your news server, you'll have another chance.   READ IT NEXT TIME.

In case you're wondering, yeah, this is a flame.  Congratulations on being
today's idiot.  Go to court and you'll probably be rewarded for it, if past
history is any guideline.  Boy, *I'm* in a touchy mood, today.
