Lol. I was on the Sinister mailing list at the time. Someone pointed out that there was no obstacle to people voting for B&S on the Radio 1 website as many times as they wanted, and we all went to town on it. Good times.

That too was me
They took no email, so weren't detecting duplicates that way.
They set no cookies, so didn't prevent double voting.
The only thing that could detect duplicates were the IP address, but it's 1998 and every time you log on to the internet with your modem you get a new IP address 🥳That was basically all that I did, tell two mailing lists comprising 25,000 fans about this.
(Well, that and set up two mailing lists that accrued 25K fans whilst few other artists or labels had even made websites).

In Saturday's guardian, I presume this is Pete Waterman still being a bit salty about @Velocio.
