Corrections and stuffers

Thanks to everyone who voted for the Best of Montreal Readers Poll. We received thousands of ballots and, as always, we made every effort to weed out the stuffers who try to unduly influence the science of our poll.

Ballots that came from the same IP address and had identical answers were eliminated, as were ballots that failed to make the 25-answer quota.

While we do our best to make sure the addresses and phone numbers of the winners are accurate, mistakes will sometimes occur. Send your corrections to us to letters@mtl-mirror.com or through the mail (465 McGill, 3rd floor, Montreal, QC, H2Y 4B4). ■
