Good idea :) Polling of our user community is very beneficial in a |

I strongly abject to picking an arbitrary cut off though (33%). I would |

rather that we use some sort of statistical analysis (simple central |
| 14 |
tendency measures will work). The process is much more scientific, and |
| 15 |
it ensures that our sampling population is represented fairly. |

If you need a hand with the statistical analysis, let me know. Stats is |

a big part of the work that I do on a daily basis ;) |
