Sorry - if you mean to prevent revoting? You can add a flag which is
reset through the form tags, a flag. If it is zero, accept

output, then don't accept the vote.
this is a lot easier with embperl thatn CGI, FWIW.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
