All that sounds good. The more, the merrier. (But who is Sasha?) Nowadays we would want to make a web page with info about the poll; we could post references to it everywhere that makes sense. > That way to participate could be just what > has been done in the past - by email.

We want people to give complete answers, not force their responses into a form. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
