The subject line says it all: It is time for the first annual poll of
TELECOM Digest readers, to detirmine how many of you fit into one of
the above categories.

The two questions I would like answered are:

  1) Have you made one or more phraud calls in the past six months?
     (yes or no)

  2) Have you broken into a computer, or gained unlawful access to a
     computer in the past six months?  (yes or no)

I realize these are rather sensitive questions to ask, and since most
of you probably do not know how to send an anonymous message over the
net, I have provided a work-around.

I want you to flip a coin, any coin. Don't tell me how it lands. 
If it lands heads up, answer the above two questions truthfully. If it
lands tails up, then answer these two questions instead:

   1) Have you eaten a hamburger for lunch in the past two weeks?
      (yes or no)

   2) Have you gone inside the usual bank you do business with in the
      past two weeks?  (yes or no)

Based on the coin-flip, answer the first two questions or the last two
questions. Send a message to 'telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu' with the
subject header 'questions', and a single line of text using the
appropriate text from the following:

1.  Yes  Yes
2.  No   Yes  
3.  Yes  No
4.  No   No

Please do not include anything for the Digest and do not include
personal comments you want me to answer.  Repeat: DO NOT advise me of
the results of the coin-toss.  The results will be posted here in a
couple weeks.
