Well, if this is the labor day weekend, this must be the comics buying:
entertainment vs finance poll.

In the original article, I asked you to answer the following:

>     I buy comics
>          
>	  a) Almost completely for entertainment value, and hardly for
>	     financial reasons at all (resale value, etc.).
>	     
>	  b) More for entertainment value than for financial reasons.
>	  
>	  c) Equally for entertainment value and financial reasons.
>	  
>	  d) More for financial reasons than entertainment value.
>	  
>	  e) Almost completely for financial reasons, and hardly for
>	     entertainment value at all.
>

Of the 39 answers (including mine) I recieved:

56.41% of those responding voted (a).
41.03% of those responding voted (b).
 2.56% of those responding voted (c).

No votes for (d) or (e), so the truly mercantile don't inhabit this
newsgroup...

The answers I got were extremely enjoyable reading -- nice to know I'm not
the *only* one to use the excuse of financial gain to pacify Mom!  Bless
her, she still thinks I could cash in a few for a quick gold ingot any time
I felt like it....

Thanks to all who responded!
