Does 18% response not worry you ? While I am happy that a poll
took place, and that you've spent the time analysing the results, I
am also concerned that the so-called "future" of the DNSO is being
decided by 25 people, on behalf of the rest of the world. And what
concerns me most is the response within the group - barely one
person out of 5.

Don't get me wrong, I do support the polling process, but I would not be
as sure about the legitimacy of the poll results as we're all making it to
be.
