Don't get me wrong, I will put out the results as just promised to Ian! :)
I just don't feel like doing it this week before people discussed this thread.

But:
So I put out results which exclude the sybils.
Then there are 9 voters left.

9 against > 712 of the uservoice poll.
Why don't we use the uservoice poll then?
As said, I'm happy to continue working towards its winner (filesharing), I've 
been doing that for 8 years...

Is there *any* possible, scientific reason for letting a vote of 9 people be 
preferred towards one of 712?

Yea, that's the next problem, all the discussions will waste so much of our 
precious funds :|
The amount of money we have doesn't even last a year of paying a programmer, 
and we're shooting at it with a procedure which has already caused a delay of 
7 of the 12 months of funding we have.

If that isn't overengineered then I don't know what is :|
