Were those the respondents from Palm Beach County, Florida? Apprently so, Frank. 15 people responded and we know at least two of them (maybe more) didn't abide by the rules. That's at least 13%, though 15 responses is far from any meaningful data. Six people feel messages had been posted annointing BEA the gorilla. None of those messages nor the people who supposedly wrote them have been identified. Yet no one felt BEA is indeed already a gorilla. Either the people who supposedly posted the messages didn't participate in the poll, they changed their mind about BEA being a gorilla, or their responses are wacko. My guess is that some of the responses are wacko. It reminds me of all the people who felt Gemstar was a gorilla even though they acknowledged that no tornado had formed. All too often people believe what they want to believe. --Mike Buckley
