RE: unscientific poll

My guess is the low response is likely an effect of inexperienced and intermediate users remaining silent to allow the most informed users decide the outcome of the poll. This was a consideration for me, even though I eventually decided to participate as an intermediate user. Regular reading of a forum without contributing is a common internet phenomenon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurker. I dont expect nmusers to be any different. My thanks to Leonid for doing the poll. It helped me put the discussions/debates/exchanges/advice in context. Best regards to all, I will go back to lurking now ;) Douglas Eleveld
