Well, for old times' sake (and because it took all of a minute and a half),
I've dusted off the Flans2000 robovoter and adapted it for this poll.  Here it
is:
http://tmbg.bryceland.com/oranges/

However, it doesn't seem to be doing any good, the percentage isn't moving.
That could just mean that there are a gazillion votes in there already, so
each one makes little difference, or it could mean that they're filtering out
repeated votes from the same IP address.  (Cheesy, but effective.)  Or it
could also mean that the poll is just closed in general.

Anyway, whether the percentage eventually starts climbing or not, please don't
mention the robovoter to the newsgroup or to the world at large.

Bryce
