They're insane. If they win, I resign my citizenship of the world!

I was also impressed by the disclaimer under the poll results:
'Results are indicative and may not reflect public opinion.'
What does that mean? No-one, surely, is going to think that an opinion poll on the net can be safely taken as a reflection of public opinion. But more puzzling: 'indicative'? What are they claiming it's indicative of, if not public opinion? I suppose it's literally indicative of the opinions of poeple who've read the story and bothered to vote, but...

indicative as in 'purely indicative'?

Anyway, thanks for the link and thanks, smithi1 for letting me know I could vote against -- hadn't spotted that first time around!
