As you can see, the "closed" part of the poll shut down tonight and you can see the numbers.  Before one of our "friendly censorship monitors" added the additional post, the scores were realtively close (about 16 apart at one time).  I figure the poll has been skewed now, so there are the numbers for all to see.  It will close on the 16th.

You underestimate me, my white haired friend. I wrote down the numbers when I added that extra line for you to laugh at. I got 2 votes total. And one category received two more votes, thats it. When you give your numbers, Ill be happy to forward you mine, or post them here. Just so you can varify.

LMAO.  All you have to do is toss out a line on here and someone will bite.  I really don't care Bill.  I was looking for an honest cross section and I feel the numbers are probably correct for this site.  I'd be interesting in what Larry got from the WTC last week to see how they coincide.  I just thought using the "closed to view" was something new in a poll taking and just clicked it.  I think most of us agree that for ANY convention to be successful, ALL of those blocks play an integral role.  I know when I heard stories about the WTC last week, It wasn't the competition nor the seminars that I was longing to be there for.  It was to see and meet the friends we have formed in our "family" here.  First time I ever met Bill Yox was at the WTC and we shared a bear hug like long lost comrades.  THAT'S why I go to conventions.

Yep, as for the world show, I think youre right. I felt I missed the people, and longed to compete, and wondered about the suppliers and seminars. I think the numbers are similar.

George I think I met you at the 2005 show?  Maybe the 03 show.  Any way I met Yox at the same show and it was great but you both really missed a great show this year.  Wish you both could have been there.  Dan
