By the way, I wouldn't want anyone to get the impression that 
my statements regarding the poll represent an attempt to support
the carrying of the "garbage" groups in any general sort of way.
My views on net content and "quality" are quite widely known, both
from Usenet postings and my various Stargate-related talks and papers.

My main concern is that the benefits and shortcomings of various
polling/statistical techniques be well understood when attempting to
analyze any particular sets of data, in particular the recent
Usenet polls.
