Like most polls the owner of the poll has to at least top one list. I even
though as you state opinion. I am not so sure this would be the list.

Well there is opinion and fact, my opinion CM6K and the fact CM6K.


Plus I would like to add if CM6K was not on the SSDF ratings, then it would not
even rank a mention in these lists. Which makes me think that a large percentage
of the people who voted did so with feeling, more than knowledge of what they
think is better.

For the record I did not vote, But if I did, I would have choosen CM6K for the
strongest programs for all. Just like the CCC poll a while ago as to which
program would be number one, no one thought Hiarcs7 would be, but now people
have jumped on the band wagon, like CM6K.

I still remember all the people who thought CM6K was rubbish. I laugh at those
who now think is worth mention. I have you people listed.
