I can't believe you can be so high and mighty about a damn newsgroup.
It was just a STRAW POLL, not a formal ballot, for God's sake.

Are you saying that you don't trust him? Just because he didn't get
your vote doesn't mean the statistics are lying. Perhaps he didn't
get someone's vote in disagreement with yours.

Those of us in the .hp48 camp were finished arguing a long time ago,
and this little poll just proves we're still here, just tired of
wasting our breath on people who make this an important facet of their
life.

Yes, thank you to those that are putting all of the work into it.
Let's just PLEASE put this thing to a vote before I explode!

Couldn't keep my mouth shut.
