Howdy, off-topic crossposting troll!

Yes; it's at <jvafsv$h1h$1@news.mixmin.net>

Nice delusion, kooky. But the July ballot actually has a nymshifting twit known 
variously as murphy, Flash, News in Service, phlatArse, and 194 or more other 
nyms as its sole serious Kook of the Month contender. You may know him from his 
recent activity as Citizen Kane, Hydra Blanket, Hydra Blanky, _kookmeister_, 
NT_WAR, CastAlone, Godfrey, and several other nyms, and from a blubbery, 
semi-literate posting style and tendency to obsessively chant the name 
"Derbyshire".

More delusion. Nobody named Paul is up for any of those or has won CNoTM, even 
under the old superseded awards. However, murphy is up for Loony Maroon, Foam 
Duck, and numerous other awards, and just *won* a Goofy Azzed Baboon, that one 
for the month of June.

Phoenix is FNVW.

More delusions. There's no Paul Derbyshire here and the Busted Urinal nominees 
for July are:

Aratzio
Fred Hall
The Republican Party of the United States of America

Notably, murphy won Busted Urinal in June along with Goofy Azzed Baboon.

Wrong again. Albatross's opposition for Tar and Feathers is ... murphy again.

The Balsa Gavel nominee was known on Usenet a Camay D and is on the ballot 
under that name. Outerfilthing is now largely forbidden, Account Banned, or did 
you forget that?

Hammer of Thor nominees on July's ballot:

Emmett Gulley (diamond HoT)
thoolen/"Murphy Foam Detoxification Squad" Phoenix

Of these the only serious contender is Phoenix.

Outdated website. The instructions are posted at the top of the Offishul Ballot 
itself, at the message-ID near the top of my response.

How ironic.

Wrong. Craig Dickson, the vote wrangler from 1994, is among the many that have 
not originated from DataBasix accounts:

You, of course, are up for quite a few awards yourself, making that declaration 
of yours also rather ironic.

[snip fake ballot]

The one true ballot is at <jvafsv$h1h$1@news.mixmin.net>.

Happy voting! Be sure to throw a few votes at the delusional twit Account
