Dear Usenet Reader,

In horror I realized I had made a blunder in my posting of the Amazing
CFR Poll Results. I added the number of votes in groups A and D to
total 37 percent. Obviously I can't add votes and get a percent total.

The figures should have been twenty percent of those voting selected
"D" and twenty-three percent of those voting selected "A" for a total of
forty-three percent.

This means that of the eighty-six ballots counted, twenty voted for "A"
and seventeen voted for "D" for a total of thirty-seven VOTES (not
percent).

If you caught me in this error, I hope my correction beats your tsk, tsks
into "print."

If you didn't, shame on you.

This just goes to show that even the most brilliant among us make mistakes,
right? <wide, smarty-alecky grin>
