  • Comment. Hi. Um, is it really appropriate to have a billion strong supports? I mean, if it were typed out that many times, it would take about 15 Gigabytes. So, does this make much difference from a strong support? I heard you're only supposed to vote once, so isn't this cheating? I mean, what if someone put "Extreme infinite support x 1x10^∞"? Wouldn't that be cheating, if say, there were many opposes, then if it were infinite, that one vote would cause all other votes to be obsolete? So, would it be more appropriate if you put "very strong support"? Thanks. -- AstroHurricane001^(T+C+U) 17:44, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
