That is, like with any other survey on the net, most people ignored it (I never even saw the original survey message). In this sort of situation, the lefties (who feel downtrodden and want to prove they exist) are much more likely than the righties to respond to the survey. I'd wager that an overwhelming percentage of the lefties who saw the message responded (they wanted to be counted) but that only a relatively few righties bothered to respond. --Lauren--
