Recently I conducted a shareware poll. I said that "all
replies will be kept in the strictest confidence," but I realize now that
I broke my promise. When I reprinted some of the replies that stood
out to me, I didn't realize that I was not strictly observing the
privacy of the people who responded to the poll, although I didn't mention
any names. Keeping the replies in the strictest confidence would have required
me to just provide statistics or my personal feelings. For this
reason, I apologize.
