		<description>At the outset let me congratulate Rowena for emerging out successful. I also participated in the contest (Kona Falls) and it was my maiden submission to TSM.

My friends also conveyed me that they were unable to vote from the same IP address from their work premises and so they had to either use their system at home or go to a browsing cafe. Oh! I should thank them all for taking pains in supporting me.

It was like a frog jumping 3 feet high and slipping down to 1 ft. and when it will reach the set height...?

Daily my rating used to increase and then fall down to 3.5 or less dramatically. I was helpless to answer their question as to why it fell down inspite of voting. 

The Editor Mr.Michael also accepted that this was a new approach in the &#039;Reader voting&#039; concept and the short comings would be rectified so as to redesign in future.

Even if our voters had rated low for any of the other stories, the writer may not know that such thing had happened. So there has to be a &#039;check&#039; method to allow the voting &#039;only once&#039; from the same IP address.Is it feasible..??

Hopefully, the next contest has to be free from the &#039;Tom &amp; Jerry&#039; hide and seek game. Haha!!</description>
