Anyone here from the Nashville, TN area? t would be nice to meet

group is now available:

Last time to upload images for a long time, the break is here and I have

Wasn't planning on it, but I saw some emails on the topic, so I worked on
what I presented earlier:

Well that was a quick response. I think it's silly the idea that someone
would cast more votes than one on an election for this, but I can't trust a
poll where someone can continually click yes or no over and over. I like
your idea.

Haskellers.com poll:
Yes 52 votes (50%), 22 verified votes (53%)
No 51 votes (49%), 19 verified votes (46%)
Email:
Yes 14 (64%)
No8 (36%)
Seems a bit divided.

Heh, I miscounted the email poll (turns out to be pretty difficult to
grep for answers). Correct email results (as of writing):
Yes 15 (65%)
No8 (35%)
