To all those who have persistently criticised Paul Middleton, here is an interesting vote on RISC OS.NET which says that 68% of readers think he is doing a good job.
Maybe they don't know the real situation or maybe they do?

It's not really that reliable just yet. Having watched the poll since it was started (one person had voted when I did) I know only one person has voted "Don't know, don't care" and that makes the total number of votes 23! Maybe if more people were to vote we could have a reliable poll?

It seems clear enough to me in which way the general opinion is swayed. |

No, I just watched the numbers grow very slowly and was actually able to almost count the number of votes! Then knowing that the "Don't know, don't care" percentage went down everytime someone voted and never up there could still only be one vote for that. From that it's simple maths to figure out how many had voted. Now on the other hand I have no idea how many times people have voted because I haven't looked at the voting since I calculated the number of votes until now and see that "Don't know, don't care" has gone up and I don't know how often that has happened! |

Here's a stupid way:
Assume 2 have voted "Don't know, don't care", do the others add up to whole numbers of voters?
If not, assume 3 have voted ...
etc. etc.
Time was when I could have worked out the elegant answer. sigh. |

Elegant answer: Hack into RISCOS.net and read the results straight from their server  |
