yeah, sorry - I am swamped and cannot even get to draft the changes to the poll today. I hope to do it tonight and then it can get into poll format and put tomorrow.

Okay, so there's less of a rush on posting the poll. Good. I'm having other problems right now, like a missing (but not stolen) wallet.

poll posse. I have re-worded soem questions to be reviewed.

It looks like with more than 100 potential respondents we will need to have a paid account somewhere. SurveyMonkey is $19.95/mo - FreeSurveysOnline.com is 9.99/mo for students.

I was wondering about using the free surveymonkey site, but having 2 people post the survey using different free accounts - then have the board split alpha (by real last name ) to fill it out. I kinda doubt we would have more that 200 responses.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think Sean K said he was going to get a paid account at SurveyMonkey.

yeah, I know, I am just thinking that $20 may not be necessary.

I'm all for free surveys, I'm just willing to take that hit, if it's necessary.

What is even happening?

I was wondering about using the free surveymonkey site, but having 2 people post the survey using different free accounts - then have the board split alpha (by real last name ) to fill it out. I kinda doubt we would have more that 200 responses.

Couldn't we alpha split by board name?

another poll question. should I only allow one poll submission per computer? or is that going to screw some couples?

There does not seem to be any other sort of measure for preventing multiple voting. oh wait, it stores IP address, does that mean I would see a bunch of the same IP address and it should raise flags.

Honestly I cannot imagine anyone doing this.
