[atlarge-discuss] Poll-watcher's Summary

[Jan Siren <sirenj@earthlink.net>]

This is a summary of the results of Joop Teernstra's poll on the structure of
icannatlarge, conducted on his Polling Booth ( http://www.pollingbooth.info
).  It is a summary only, because I do not report the individual votes (I do
not have access to that information) but just the results totaled for each
question; and because I report only the number of comments accompanying each
question, not the comments themselves.  Including the latter would render 
this report too long, and slow my completion of it unacceptably.  The 
comments are interesting and do add value over and above the simple numeric 
reults.  (In particular, the question on whether the Polling Booth should 
show the results of the poll during the voting process received the largest 
number of comments; and because the Polling Booth was set up as an example of 
the affirmative model, the accumulating file of commentaries, available to 
each voter in turn, showed a progressive maturation and sophistication 
through the course of the voting.)  I urge those persons concerned about the 
responses to particular questions to avail themselves of those comments.

The first part of this report is the voting summary.  The second and final
part is the list of those e-mail addresses, no longer valid, to which the
poll announcement had been sent but from which nothing was received but an
automatically-generated invalid address message (a "bounce").
