News Proxy may be why many people may have missed the vote

If your News Proxy is set up like mine is, then you missed the posts, too.

Ah. That explains why I didn't see them either.

Based on previous experience, it's a rare event that something
cross-posted to more than four groups is worth reading.

I don't use News Proxy, and I read news with trn. But my trn killfile
for this group is set up to discard all crossposted articles. This is
probably somewhat common, since it's a good way to eliminate many troll
postings and the threads they start. Anyway, I didn't see the RFD/vote
stuff either.
