First I'd like to thank all the people listed below for participating in the
"SPF Organization Poll". In general we got more then 25% of monthly number
of participants of SPF-discuss and > 50% of the most active participants
who answered this poll and to me this is a success for such open poll.
Now below are all answers I have recorded by those who answered this poll
(http://archives.listbox.com/spf-discuss(_at_)v2(_dot_)listbox(_dot_)com/200410/0860.html)
If I listed your answer or your name incorrectly please let me know and
I'll correct and repost it, but do it fast (by tomorrow afternoon) as
tomorrow evening (in 24 hours) I'll provide a summary of the poll based
on all these answers.
