How many votes per system? Per user? Should a person who reads only one news group be polled on some totally unrelated issue to his interests? Personally, I say why bother. The people who really care will vote. This tends to be a little biased towards group creation, but it generally shows a preponderance of interest towards group creation, assuming that don't count ten yes votes and two no votes as demonstration of need to create a group. -Ron
