OK...I'll fall for it...I'll go along..... and pimp DimGuy's "What's your ethnicity" poll here!!
Coz its not ONLY a poll, but is also an exercise on how to figure out how to get focus back on the methodology of the poll itself!! Or something like that!! Perhaps futile effort, perhaps it will never happen - but heck - a whole lot of fun and games!! LOL!!!
