And oh-by-the-way, those guest cookies are cleared when you log in and out. In fact, any time you log in to the site and then back out again you can vote again as a guest.

But that would be wrong.
I tried this. I have now voted once with my user ID and then twice as a guest(from the same computer), because I was curious. This now makes this poll completely invalid in my (humble) opinion.
