To the question:
Should Heidi continue to participate in sci.lang?
19 people making up 73% said "Yes!"
7 people making up 26% said "No."

Just a little clarification:
0% said "Yes"
0% said "No"
To your rather awkwardly phrased query ("Should Heidi continue to participate in sci.lang?") people were given the option of choosing " I agree" or " I disagree".
It means exactly the same thing. Yes...I agree...No...I disagree.

Sorry ---- guess I missed _that_ poll. I thought your poll addressed people's preferences regarding your participation.
I am a *someone*, am I not?

Out of 53 responses, it seems that 58% disagree that she should continue.
Yes, interesting, isn't it? Just as soon as I posted the results
of what 26 people posted, an additional flurry of activity happened
to ensure that that outcome would be overturned.
It looks to me that the "nay" sayers were busy campaigning in
the background. Are there even 53 sci.lang participants and
lurkers out there?
With another 3 and a half weeks to go, calling in the results this early and proclaiming a victory is not only foolish, but painful for others to watch. There's something almost Al Gore about it all.
Ah well. This is indeed proving to be an interesting excercise.
31 sci.lang participants and lurkers believe they have the
right to demand someone leave, despite this being
an open and public UNmoderated forum. There may
be enough interest to create a moderated forum.
These 31 dissenters could get busy writing up a charter
for a moderated sci.lang. All it requires is a moderation
program and a few moderators. The Usenet Admins
could choose to accept their request and will then
send out that "control" message to all the servers
around the globe.
When these 31 folks have their private moderated
newsgroup, they can then control who to let in
and who to keep out.
As of 10:50 a.m. PST Feb. 16 the poll
results indicate:
23...40% agree, I should stay.
34...59% disagree, they want me to leave.
With 34 wishing to control who is in and who is out,
they should have enough people to advocate
for a moderated sci.lang.
