As far as I know it's one man, one vote. We can straw poll all we like
but none of us is the man.

That would be up to you to correct by subscribing the second address

complications that subscribers would face.

Ah, someone who believes the geographical location of an IP address is
easily determined. How quaint.

[Also note that most "Nigerian" 419 scams are operated from the
Netherlands, and that open relays may be located anywhere.]

This isn't so bad...
