There is one problem with polls - who answers them.
When I was working at Tektronix, there were some 40 writers all using
Interleaf 5. If all 40 of them were to answer this poll, it would look like
Interleaf 5 was the predominate authoring tool.
How can a poll be done better and what is my great suggestion; I do not have
a reply, sorry.
