[news.groups] How do I mail a NO vote for sci.aquaria from an internet site

baur@venice.SEDD.TRW.COM (Steven L. Baur) (10/22/89)

I have been trying since the vote opened to mail a no vote, but it keeps
bouncing.  Would someone from an Internet site tell me how to get to
gryphon.com?  Thanks.

While the possability exists that I have saboutaged the entire Internet
with various dastardly schemes to tilt the balance of justice by
preventing you from getting your NO vote 6 miles from your part
of Redondo Beach to our part of Redondo Beach, the reality of the
situation is there must be something wrong with your site, as 500
people so far have had no problem, many of them on Internet.

And a point of order: do votes from compuserve count ?

Not unless it's gatewayed with a mailing list.

In other words, No.  Not yet, anyway.

	Usenet is not Real Life.

	Usenet naming discussions do not matter.

More fun than is legal in Newark, NJ...

Oh, okay. 

If anybody else is running a newsgroup vote and needs a few votes,
send mail to voting-block@gryphon.com; it's gatewayed to about
fifteen hindered compuserve subscribers.

Be sure to indicate if you need yes votes or no votes in the
subject line. Improperly formatted requests are likely to be met
with disfavour.
