					 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

	What no rec.music.makers.synth?  Seems like you are deliberately
trying to bias your poll by leaving out people who have made the switch and
therefore see no need to follow all the news.* groups anymore.  Which they
shouldn't until a valid RFD appears in news.announce.newgroups.  (which is
unclear at this point.)  And in any case, following news.admin.* would
generally not be required anyway.  News.groups is the place for such
discussion.

[I've added rec.music.makers.synth to this and included the full article
below so that readers of that group can participate in your "poll".]
