[Ohioan from Florida]

Good idea!

[MarMema]

No doubt she added those 5 "no" votes herself.

Along with my regular access phone # , I have an alternate one in case the first is busy.



First, I disconnect from the Internet.

Then, I bring up the Remote Access Control Panel, delete the phone #, and put in the alternate #.

Then, I re-connect to the Internet. The new # sends me to a different IP address, and
VOILA! I'm a different computer, as far as TBO is concerned.

You might be able to do this EVEN if you use the same #, and simply disconnect, then re-connect a moment later. I haven't tried this yet.


BTW, I'm using a MAC, so I don't know if the terminology is the same for your Control Panel.

[Ohioan from Florida]

I guess deo was one vote after me...I was "no" #315 (and three others before that, but I only remember my last vote).

[MarMema]

Well go for it. Make them wish they had never run this poll to begin with.

[MarMema]

Oh. I was just kidding around...didn't mean to discount your vote or anyone else's.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Rats! I was hoping it would be as simple as hitting that reset button on the vote bar.

[MarMema]

we're on cable. I have been trying to disconnect for one minute and do this, but no luck so far. Wonder if I do it for longer than one minute, if it will work?

[Ohioan from Florida]

On 165 I was replying to your 161, not your 163. Am I making any sense any more? No? Then I really had better go to bed!

[Deo volente]

Sorry I took so long, I almost forgot how I did it!

Hope you can get some sleep soon.

One can always vote in the morning, with well rested fingers!!

[MarMema]

Doesn't work for 2 minutes...

Yes 381 54%
No 319 45%

[MarMema]

Sleep well. See you tomorrow.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Same here (cable). Have fun tonight, don't stay up too late being crazy!!(J/K) Go make them wish they hadn't done this to Terri!

[MarMema]

Well actually they usually shut these down at about midnight our time. I am surprised this one is still up.

It might be up tomorrow but I have not seen the usual polls run more than one day in the past.

[MarMema]

I worked graveyard last night and napped today, and this has me on a roll. So I will stay up for a few more hours and try to vote a bit more.

[Deo volente]

I'll stay up here in L.A., and disconnect/reconnect, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!


Get some sleep in those other time zones!
Soldiers must be well rested!

[MarMema]

Bless you. Someone just voted yes. Argh.

[Deo volente]

Michael can't sleep and is back online.

[MarMema]

I am starting to think so...who else would be on a florida news station at this time of night there?

Eerie.
