Fuck it. I've finally worked out why the entire thread hasn't appeared in
not just one but two Usenet server accounts.

I have a message rule to block posts by the MI5 persecution nutter Mike
Corley which involves deleting any thread with a title including the terms M
and I and 5 and P. Hardly any other threads except MI5 Persecution ones are
going to have all those letters plus a 5 in the title but guess what? This
is round 5 of the poll, the numeral 5 is in the title of the thread and it
meets the message rules so the entire thing disappeared. Bollocks.

Anyway my predictions for what it's worth now are

Pole Kimi
1st Kimi
2nd Massa
3rd Kubica

A rule to block any post cross posted to more than two groups usually
covers most spam.

Hehe, that's probably the exact reason why I never saw it either...

Well if it had a sensible thread title like "Results Poll - Turkey" instead
of one so long it includes most of the letters and numbers on a keyboard it
wouldn't have met the message rules. I knew it wasn't my fault anyway :)

Separated at birth...it's the only reasonable explanation. ;)

It was posted. I generally start the thread on the Sunday before the
race. If you fail to see the thread for whatever reason, you should post
to the group anyway with some obvious title so I can see it and include
your predictions for that particular race. You have to have sent the
predictions before the first practice ever starts for that race.

Late entries are counted for fun (by me), but not officially entered.
It's only fair to others that have already been excluded because of late
predictions, and to everyone else that manages to enter on time.

I have missed 3 out a 5 in all the dross posted here, could you not use
****<poll>**** or something that will stand out as the subject?
