		<description>I&#039;ve relocated the poll higher in the right column - let&#039;s see if this changes the response rate;-)

		<description>Jessan,

It looks like you&#039;re with Martin above - and may be onto something...

If I compare the number of viewers of this page with the number of votes cast, the overwhelming winner is &quot;Most people will not cast a vote!&quot;  (darned, I thought I covered that with one of those &quot;no&quot; entries...)

While it may change things, I&#039;ll look into changing the poll while in progress - gasp!

Appreciate the read, the vote, and the comment!

		<description>Rusty,

You sly devil you - calling the poll results into question while it&#039;s still in progress!

If I let the statement stand, the number of people that check the Lies or Biased results might increase because the system appears to be flawed...

If I reveal that your vote is in fact registered and counting to the item you&#039;ve selected, the paranoid selection will get some votes...

Ok - because PC savvy people will already know that in order to keep someone from voting twice, the system has to record your address - I can safely say that the same address that submitted the comment above has also registered a vote in the poll.

So - back to what you were doing people - there&#039;s nothing to look at on the side of the road - just keep moving - everything is all right;-)

		<description>Steve,

Since I like polls, in general; and, your&#039;s seems pretty straight forward, I&#039;ve just cast my vote.

I recommend move up &quot;We&#039;d Like To Know&quot; box, to just under your &quot;Links&quot; box.  Why?  No offense to anyone intended; but, some folks will not scroll down.  Perhaps a split test - xx amount of time where it is and xx amount of time moved up.

Thanks for this, Steve.

Dance on...

		<description>I doubt the accuracy of this polling effort already.  I voted, and do not see my ballot reflected in the up to the minute tally over there on the right. (Since I don&#039;t see it, then that proves it&#039;s not there. Right? - Contracartesian argument.)</description>

		<description>Mike - I see your point, that&#039;s a hard place to pick any of the other answers from... I hope you picked something anyway though!-)

Martin - Oh man - Now I&#039;ve got to do a test or something to see...  I&#039;m working on a &quot;Is the book right for me&quot; evaluation - that might make a good time to also try that change.

Many thanks,
steve</description>

		<description>Hi Steven,

You know what is even more interesting? See how many of your unique visitors in a give time actually complete the poll since it will give you an indication on &quot;location, location, location&quot; of your other announcements on this page.

Move the poll to the upper right hand corner in one week and sit back with a cup of coffee and I bet you the pollsters will double!

In other words - move up your &quot;Get the book&quot; box and see what happens.

Good luck</description>

		<description>Steve,

Interesting poll.  However, the wording of &quot;frequently take...&quot; didn&#039;t really apply to me so I had a difficult time choosing answer.  I will take polls but only if they look short, if I have time, and the topic is of interest/relevance.

Unfortunately I didn&#039;t really see a choice reflecting a combination.

Thanks!</description>
