I know my opinion is weird but... I find the thought of a bot-net 
swarming a polling site similar to navigating a pile-up and/or dealing 
with heavy QRM, and in an abstract way, how a cognitive receiver might 
reject the unwanted signals based on some rapidly learned (non-directed 
learning) characteristics.

... that and in general, how to maintain signal integrity in the face of 
intentional or unintentional interference. If you only have a tiny piece 
of the "truth" how do you accurately extract it from that unreasonably 
noisy channel.

... then there's the part where this particular political fight and how 
it is handled speaks volumes about how spectrum and communications 
mechanisms might be handled -- certainly relevant; especially in light 
of DMCA and W3C's adoption of a DRM standard in browsers --- if the two 
are connected then what new restrictions might arise from this 
environment regarding modulation techniques and the use of spectrum 
where some commercial interests may wish to lay claim to those by 
claiming infringement or unlawful reverse engineering...

...it's the kind of thing that, after it keeps you awake, causes you to 
keep your ARRL membership up to date so that somebody is out there 
"fighting for our side."
