This is really tough! So many good choices. Where in the rules does it say you can only vote once?

So, ethically speaking, it would be wrong to create several new forum identities so that I can vote for all my favorites....  |

If you voted once for all 16 kites, it would be a wash, but still not ethically sound.

How long do I have before I must decide and vote? In other words, how much pressure is there yet?
I'm having trouble even cutting the field in half to narrow it down.
(not really, I'm just being melodramatic. )
