I wonder, with no way to prove any hypothesis, how this posting in
rec.humor.funny might have affected the aquaria vote. My personal
opinion is probably very little, but it's hard to tell with things
like this.

You mean you're worried people really believe I'll destroy they're city, or you're worried people will find out about the vote who normally wouldn't ?

My personal >opinion is probably very little, but it's hard to tell with things >like this. Actually, the biggest possible result is a lot of people saying, "huh, what's sci.aquaria?" But to be honest, my opinion was that the only side to be hurt by that posting would be the sci.aquaria side, as some might find quake jokes in bad taste. (What, a joke in bad taste in RHF???) But since the posting came from Richard, I saw no problem with that issue. Besides you should see some of the really *lame* earthquake joke submissions that I am getting. (You will, actually, I'm putting them in a digest so you can skip 'em with one 'n')
