Not all of us are unable to understand that a randomly selected group of readers -- say 300 -- can accurately (plus/minus a certain percentage) reflect the opinions of the bulk of your readership. Gee, if it *wasn't* accurate, why do polls about political matters often represent the *nation* by a similar number of respondents?

What the OS/2 Teamsters don't realize is that this poll is just that: a poll, it's not as if it's a vote open to all computer users. If anyone takes it as more than just that, well, they'll suffer the consequences.

The talk of "losing credibility" is just poppycock. Keep up the good work!

(Yeah, I use NT, so go ahead and have a field day, OS/2 people!)
