      I've noticed several other people responding to my survey question here
in net.flame.  Unfortunately, I've been keeping only a simple tally of lefties,
righties and ambies who respond by mail.  Since I have no way of knowing that 
the people who respond on the net didn't *also* resond by mail, I am keeping
track of only those people who respond by mail.  Also, it seems that only
lefties have been responding to the net.  I've been getting a much more    
balanced sample in my mailbox than has been getting to the net.
      I'll wait another week or so, as replies are still trickling in, and
then I'll follow up in net.flame and net.followup.  My sample size is up to
26 now, but keep those cards and letters coming!
