Ya, those are the numbers... How many subscribe from out of Kingdom? How many
really are actual paid members? (remember, the non-paid "members" cannot have a
vote in a poll for principality status) And, perhaps most importantly, how many
of the 254 subscribers have actually voiced a yea or nay opinion on this issue?
Seems to me that while the raw data are impressive on the surface, we don't
really have that good a representative sample.... What we have here is a cross
section of computer users that spend a good bit of time talking about stuff on
the lists... (As well a quite a few very active and great people that love
their Kingdom and want the best for all...) Seems that we all want the best for
our neighbors....just disagree on the methods...

In Love and true Respect kinswoman...
