ideally, people would vote on what they like
or don't like without influence from others..
however, there are those that MIGHT be
influenced by what others say first..
i think with the small sample here, that
no measures need to be taken..
(i do have a degree in mathematics,
and i always liked statistics)..
anyways, i think the effect is vastly
multiplied when you have a larger population,
and less knowledge of the music..
our set is limited to a rather narrow portion
of the public, and most are knowledgeable
about the music already...so they are probably
less likely to be swayed by what others say
(unless they are relatively new here)..
sorry about the side-topic, back to the poll..
later
