That might be /your personal/ behavior. |

Do the poll in the Forums. Advertise it on planet, some MLs, maybe the |
| 17 |
g.o front page, and on IRC. |
| 18 |
That way we reach the users that don't go to the forums, but are on |
| 19 |
IRC, and the folks that are on the forums but don't know of the MLs and |
| 20 |
vice-versa. |

Of course there'll be still people that don't know anything about the |
| 23 |
thing, but *shrug*. Those who care, know. And those who don't care, |
| 24 |
don't need to know, we have made our effort to reach people. |

Maybe that is something we just need to live with. Guess all the other |
| 30 |
people who do Internet polls do. |

Besides, what can we lose? I don't think Sebastian would mind |
| 33 |
preparing and posting the survey. A little more community participation |
| 34 |
and a little less time spent talking instead of doing would do us good. |
