Well, since I shot off my mouth publicly about this, maybe I can make up
for it by offering a few suggestions for a multi-composer poll (publicly).

You could have people send in one vote per composer, but any number of
composers, and add up all the votes. Or, you could have people assign
composers a rating from 1 to x and add up all those numbers. (You would
have to decide whether negative votes would be allowed.) In this case,
respondents should try to have a different number for each composer, though
it wouldn't be strictly necessary.

Come to think of it, I think I'd have a hard time even with that! Oh, well...


Anybody want an opera lyrics quiz (what opera and character)?
