Yes, when I wrote the poll I had a hard time getting it short and still
"correct".
Sorry. :-)

Unfortunately this is because of cheating! :-0
When I reported it said 17-8 (or something like that) then someone
surfed over there and clicked a few times making it 25-25.

It was an anonymous poll and then you can cheat... Perhaps I should add
a check on ip-number (or cookie! cough) or something. Anyway - you can
have nonanonymous polls too (only for registered accounts) and then you
can only vote once, but you will need to login first.

SqueakDot has been dormant a while - soon I will pick it up again.
