Jim, instead of throwing your arms up in the air about this poll, we could be constructive and either add a poll to SereneScreen.com or I can add a poll to my website.

I have found that a poll in the margin on a website is very much like a candy bar or stick of gum at a convenience store next to the cashier. Voting in a poll feeds into the American "Wanting to be heard" mentality and having it as an 'impulse buy' that's just 1 step makes it easy enough that I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't see 35% voting.

In fact, as the dust clears, I'll add one to my website.

I have a few design changes planned for my website, including an "at-a-glance" view of the forum which would be updated 1-2 times a day and a single large button to get upgraded to 1.1 which pops up a separate window to guide you through the process.

Question: For people who have a hyphenated keycode like JL-FESK123942, if they enter it in without the hypen, will they get a match? If so, this note should immediately be added to the <b>support/betacode.asp<b? page. Anything to remove another 20-50 support e-mails from the queue is valuable.
