To answer a couple of questions that I've gotten and to make sure that people understand what's going on: This is a poll. It has no validity other than as an informational tool in the discussion of shareware on the network. I am not usenet; I am an individual who is tallying opinions of other individuals on the network. When we get to announced date (march 15th) I will write a short (2 pages or less) summary, breaking down the number of respondents, who they were, and what each persons opinion is and a paragraph or two commenting on suggestions people have made. Currently the raw data is >100K in length, and in the interests of conserving net bandwidth, I'm not going to post the raw data; but I will mail it to whomever is interested PROVIDED that you send me email AFTER the 15th of march requesting it. Understand that I may quote you publically if your viewpoint is representative of some significant percentage of respondents. Rather than skew the poll, I am not going to mention the results until the end of the comment period. Brevity is appreciated. Take a few minutes and make your point in as few words as possible.
