Joe, I'm saying that the poll is worthless as an argument because it is in no way a representative sampling of the audience. Did your poll account for "don't care"? If so, then add me to that response group...... I believe the majority are indifferent to the whole argument. I personally look at this as just another "shop standards" issue, and I'll deal with it as I need to.

At best, > you could state that over 60% of RESPONDANTS agree. I did say that, Eric. I said "according to the poll". And every time I've referred to those numbers, I've said it was according to the poll. And while it's not necessarily statistically accurate, there where well over 100 responses, which for an online poll of our community, is a large number. It's certainly by far the largest response I've seen to any other poll I've done. The followup discussion has been the largest discussion on MC in a very long time, and the responders there range right in with the percentages on the poll. I know it ain't a Gallup Poll, but it's better than anything else to date, and unless you have some facts to the contrary, I find it difficult to understand why you're trying to invalidate it.
