KarinsDad :) PS. In the future, you may want to consider having an odd number of choices (like 1 to 7) for these types of polls since it has been shown that people have a tendency to consider 5 as the middle of the road on a 1 to 10 scale (5 being half of 10) and this tends to skew the data down slightly (there is no way on a 1 to 10 scale to pick 5.5).
