Michael's Amorphous Nascent Galvanic Abrosial (MANGA) Top 10 Lists
==================================================================

After incouragement from Iain Sinclair I have set up an account on my home
system to cope with this...  I an trying to make this a monthly poll of 
Top 10 catagories.  Votes will be carried over month to month for about 
six months before starting afresh. [Unless someone can convince me of a
better way of doing this :-)]

Minor ballot stuffing tolerated.  Blantant (more than five messages a month),
or "if I get grumpy 'cause you don't like Banana Fish or OZ" :-) stuffing 
gets put on the automatic quota killer mail list and gets thier post box 
flooded with 2meg core dumps, uuencoded and split to add to your enjoyment :-)

To vote all you need to do is have at least one entry in one of the
catogories below.  The maximum number of votes is 10 in each list.  
Don't panic about ranking choices 'cause I aint going to pay any attention 
to your rankings, I'll just count the votes for a choice...
[Rationally I'm expecting about five entries in some catagories]

No new votes in a catagory means I'll drop it from future lists (except for
the "new catagory" catagory).  Sort of like a mini-news.newgroups :-)

I would prefer email votes [to nsg.nsg.com.au!nagisa!manga] but if you have
to pay for email maybe posting responses is ok.  I've set the Reply-to line
to the above address.  I have an acknowledge script running so if your
address is in the format name@host.domain you'll get a response. [My feed
can't cope with UUCP paths on the way out!]

michaele@nsg.nsg.com.au is the address for comments and/or complaints.

This Month's Catagories: (Some catagories have been "donated" by Iain
Sinclair, most are mine, guess which are which :-)
