In article <1ec4flINNmqk@talon.UCS.ORST.EDU> stanley@skyking.OCE.ORST.EDU (John Stanley) writes: A straw poll will be meaningless, because it will suffer from exactly the same self-selection mechanism that the original vote did. Those who care will reply to the straw poll, those who don't, won't. By that argument, all votes are meaningless, because all votes "suffer from" a "self-selection mechanism." The respondents to the poll were the people of the *.synth readership who wanted to provide input into the process, and the dispute brought more people into the process than the vote did. Given the circumstances, it's a good bet that those who did not respond don't care about the outcome. We should try to honor the preference of the *.synth readership, and the straw poll gave us a pretty good idea of what they prefer. -- Ed McGuire 1603 LBJ Freeway, Suite 780 Systems Administrator/ Dallas, Texas 75234 Member of Technical Staff 214/620-2100, FAX 214/484-8110 Intellection, Inc. <ed@intellection.com>
