I think it was a combination of curiosity and a desire to make the CCC even more interesting to visit. a) On the “Curiosity” front - we have in CCC (and I am sure in rgcc as well) a huge number of visitors (I think I have heard these people referred to as ‘lurkers’ - sounds evil to me) but a relatively small percentage of “participants”. I am sort of a lurker myself. I. personally, would like to know what these people are thinking, and I feel that others would as well. Yet, I believe that they have a perfect right not to get involved in posting. Here we offer a painless way to have them heard. b) On the “More Interesting” front - even though the CCC has been a huge success and seems to be growing geometrically, I think that even more people will visit even more often when they know that their opinions are being counted and to see the results of these poles. Who knows, perhaps some will shed their lurker status. I know it will be interesting, but, frankly, I am not absolutely sure that it will be useful here, and that is why I threw it out for group scrutiny. Regards, Steve
