Television often has Phone polls....you know the thing..."should we get out of Iraq?"....no ring..... or yes ring.....
Invariably there's quite a one-sided response.....in this case it'd be 'yes'.
The only thing this shows, however is that the 'yes' side is simply more adamant to the point of taking the effort to call, nothing more. There is no definitive proof from such a poll that the 'no' vote might be bigger [or not] simply through apathy....remember if we are already there a 'no' won't change anything...but a 'yes' "might".
Same goes for site works/changes.
Those who appreciate it/them....quietly nod approvingly, but those who do not spit and moan and spam the boards with "you bastards.....etc".
The ambivalent observer sees all the 'nays' and concludes it's all a total disaster.....
....but recent activity would indicate otherwise [I've noticed quite a few more forum comments, for example, between visits to 'recent'....
The Wincustomize.com site coders DO certainly deserve a round of applause, but, like backroom bods everywhere they are usually forgotten/ignored/unnoticed.
They get mine [except T-Man....he didn't take me with him to Disneyland - and I coulda' pretended to be a kid, too]...
