As expected, talk is the preferred group. The responses are:
20 talk.philosophy.misc
35 sci.philosophy.misc
Also, there were several comments of the form "I will vote
against sci if it is proposed". I don't recall any saying they'd
vote against talk. I'll take that as a hint. :-)
A cursory examination of the poll results shows that most
Objectivists want a sci group and most non-Objectivists want a
talk group. Consider the number of Objectivists and
non-Objectivists on the net and form your own conclusions....
One thing I want to deal with. Mr. May sent me e-mail apologizing
for inadvertently questioning my morality, for which I thank him.
So that's water under the bridge.
However, because of that other turkey who followed up on my
posting, I'm including in this message the names and e-mail
addresses of all persons counted in my poll.
Furthermore, in order to satisfy that turkey and whoever else is
ignorant enough to believe that I'd falsify the poll, I'm asking
anyone who sent in a response which did not get counted or which
got counted incorrectly to please post that fact along with
whatever your preference is. Now, I *am* expecting that some
people's responses did not get counted. This is perfectly normal;
e-mail is not entirely reliable. Also, it is hardly impossible
that I've lost or miscounted some votes.
*Please* do not respond if you did not send in a response to the
poll. The purpose of this is not to give you the opportunity to
send in a late response, it is to let people who were let down by
me or the mail system to correct things. Also, don't send me
e-mail about it; the whole point of this is to make a public
display of any problems.
Finally, I'm going to wait a day or so to see what happens. If
the poll results don't change significantly, I'll run the vote. If
they do, I'll worry about that then. (Which is to say, I don't
expect it to happen.)
