I was on vacation the last two days so I didn't see any of these polls till today. But the poll I did see was like 8 to 5 in favor of a change. It doesn't really seem like a statistically significant sample. Seems like the "I don't care enough" vote is the vast majority there. Assuming D has significantly more than 13 users, that is. Or perhaps it's the "you guys have gone on about this for far too long and and I now have no idea what this is about anymore" vote. --bb
