The rec.music.white-power newsgroup vote took place in February of 1996. The newsgroup was proposed by Milton Kleim, a person known as one of the most vocal online proponents of the white supremacist movement, and a person who had started a number of vicious flame wars on various newsgroups. His original proposal for the newsgroup stated that it would be a forum for "discussion of White Power music."
Because Kleim was proposing a newsgroup in the "Big seven" hierarchy (which has since become the "Big Eight"), the proposal had to undergo the standard approval vote. Anyone with an email address could vote for any newsgroup, and the approval vote for rec.music.white-power was announced far and wide by many people, both in favor of, and opposed to, the newsgroup.
A number of newsgroup posters stated their reasons for opposition to the newsgroup:
*The newsgroup had been proposed solely in newsgroups dedicated with political discussions, not in any music-oriented newsgroups.
*The topic of the newsgroup, "white power music," was largely unknown and barely discussed anywhere at all on the Internet, including the existing "white power" newsgroups. The lack of discussion of the topic suggested the newsgroup was not needed. When this fact was posed to the persons promoting the newsgroup, they did not offer any direct replies, and it went unanswered.
The mandatory discussion and voting were dominated, however, not by these issues but by users' reactions to the topic of racist music itself. After the voting had been tallied, the person responsible for handling the voting wrote a message describing the experience:
The newsgroup proposal was defeated with a total of 592 yes votes, versus 33,033 no votes. Because of the extraordinary heavy vote turnout, the announcement of the final vote was delayed for eight weeks while the votes were processed.
After the final vote had been announced, Milton Kleim posted a message admitting the entire campaign for the newsgroup had been a deliberate troll to bring attention to his cause. On a newsgroup message dated June 6, 1996, Kleim wrote: "...we succeeded beyond all expectations. No informed North American is not now unaware of our existence on the Internet. National Public Radio, USA Today, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and Minnesota Public Radio, to name a few media organs, gave us priceless free publicity for our ideas and our Holy Cause."
During the voting period, an unmoderated newsgroup entitled alt.music.white-power was created, but it failed to generate any discussions other than flame wars.

"I was deluged with requests for information, real name corrections that were formatted improperly and had to be handled manually, and improperly formatted vote statements sent to the wrong address. I was flamed and accused of being a white supremacist and a racist by people who didn't understand that I was just the votetaker.
"I was mailbombed, both deliberately and accidentally. One person sent me 15,000 blank email messages as a result of an error in his mail software (or so he claimed). I was mailbombed by several people because they thought I was responsible for the bot campaigning for this vote on IRC.
"Someone set up an IRC robot that roved up and down the channels in EFnet in alphabetical order, spamming each channel with a multiline exhortation to vote against the proposal. This was actively going on up until the last minute. Many IRC operators attempted to kill or ban the robot, but it kept on coming back through different accounts and servers."

A Bullet in the Arse is a low budget action film made in Australia, written and directed by Robin Brennan, Paul Moder, and David Richardson. The film screened at the Sitges International Film Festival in Spain on December 4, 2003. The film also won Best Cinematography at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival in 2003. The film was written and directed by Paul Moder, David Richardson, Robin Brennan.
Film style
A Bullet in the Arse is shot in the style of the spaghetti western as a story of friendship, betrayal and revenge, and set in a time when the only law is that of the gun. The film pays affectionate homage to one of the masters of recent cinema, Sergio Leone. The three filmmakers behind "Bullet" are big fans of the Leone pictures and have planted numerous references and nods to their cinematic hero throughout the film.
The opening scene features three killers at a railway station awaiting the arrival of a mysterious fourth party. Leone aficionados will immediately recognise this scenario, as this is how Once Upon A Time In The West opens. It includes an audio gag that nods in the direction of the infamous squeaking windmill of West's opening scene. The film also features a few classic 'draw sequences' and a replay of the early scene in For A Few Dollars More where the rat-faced outlaw is firing at Lee Van Cleef and his bullets are getting closer and closer as Van Cleef calmly reloads his gun.
The entire 'look' of the locations and costumes has been designed to suggest the feeling of the Leone westerns, but without directly copying them. The filmaker's aim was to suggest this influence subtly, as something the viewer would feel rather than notice. The film also uses the theme of male friendship and betrayal that Leone was so fond of and used so well in Duck You Sucker and Once Upon A Time In America. The entire plot hinges on a deadly betrayal in a close male friendship that sets all the events and action into dangerous motion.
Development and production
;Original idea and plan
A Bullet in the Arse was originally conceived as a much smaller project to be shot on Super 8, over the 1992 Christmas holiday period. The filmmakers had all worked in various roles on other feature films, but had never undertaken their own until A Bullet in the Arse. The project was expanded on, and with the acquisition of their own 16mm Bolex, the scale of the film grew. Each writer/director came up with an idea for a film, then looked at the three possibilities, voting for the best idea. David's idea won.
;Script
Written over a seven month period during 1992, the original idea was split into three parts which they each worked on independently, then put back together and revised.
;Shooting schedule
Only very loosely called a schedule, mainly on weekends, depending on weather and actor availability. Often discussed, occasionally stuck to. With the three of them also working to raise the money for A Bullet in the Arse, from time to time they sometimes had to delay a shoot simply to keep their day jobs.
;Snags along the way
Weather (and shocking weather forecasts), lack of money, (always seems to coincide with plenty of time), actors with unannounced haircuts that required time to grow back, actors busy on a given day, crew busy on a given day, family commitments or emergencies, location inaccessibility on a given day, film stock supply delayed, non creative busybodies throwing their weight around because they don't understand people wanting to make films, low-life junkie scumbags stealing their camera.
;Interesting post-filming developements
Almost all locations used during the course of the shoot have since become unavailable for further shooting (at least with their original look). It seemed to happen almost the moment filming was completed. Reasons given were many and varied:
:Renovated, or sold and renovated,
:Burnt down,
:Boarded up,
:Demolished by non creative business types, or the most frequent,
:The actors or filmmakers who lived there moved.
Synopsis
"Cleef" (with a nod to Lee Van Cleef), a hitman with a haunted past, is hired to kill his old friend and criminal cohort, Walton, a gunfighter with a price on his head. Curly, a brothel owner with a taste for loose women and big guns, is hot on their trail.
Plot
Walton (David Richardson), believing he has killed his best friend Cleef (Paul Moder), flees, disappearing from the lives of everyone he has known. Cleef, allowing everyone to believe he is dead, has built a new life for himself as an assassin, working exclusively through the mysterious Mr. Driscoll (Adam Batt). Curly (Robin Brennan), robbed of almost one million dollars by Cleef and Walton, is almost sick with hate and the need for revenge. One day Walton comes back to town. He has a price on his head. A big price.
