Well, pardon my dose of reality, but if we didn't "cheat" we would be the
only "group"
voting who didn't.  Fact is, since I know there is ZERO chance of my
attending, or
purchasing any resultant product, I am "cheating" by voting at all.

And you can, if you like, consider this more a way of countering the lack of
exposure
suffered by the band.

I'll bet that the count-keepers have some statistical formulae to account
for ballot stuffing,
anyway.

No flames, but I -do- think you are being whiney, a bit.  And a little
naive, too.

Substitute the words "pangs of guilt," or "rush of self-righteousness" for
the words "streak of
honesty," and I have no problem with your statement.

Hey-  just bein' honest.  =)
