it also seems that the people (or the person) that posts knows a lot about the radio itself

maybe a warning to those people (or person)?

The IP adresses are different, so it looks like they are different people. It's very obviously an attempt to manipulate the vote, but it's so blatant and infantile I really don't see anything to worry about.

On the plus side, we may have attracted some new blood with an nterest in prog to this site.
