Due to corruption in the user database for our Armageddon BBS -- it's a
long-time problem with the Hermes BBS software package that has never been
corrected by the developer -- I had to replace the file with a backup copy
from about twelve hours ago. As a result, all of my personal statistics for
our Armageddon BBS's Ballot Box external/door were lost. This meant that I
had to vote on all of the current fifteen questions again. While it took me
about fifteen minutes to do so, it was a constructive use of my time, as it
allowed me to see how everyone has been voting on the issues with which they
were presented in the Ballot Box external.

As you will see by the following statistics, the different response options
that I allotted to each question are very simple and straight forward. They
don't allow for all of the different nuances and shades of opinion that our
Armageddon BBS members may have regarding each of these issues, but they do
offer a basic picture of the answering trends that are being set.
Personally, I was quite surprised; because in the majority of cases, most
folks who took the time to vote -- and they haven't been many -- seem to
agree with my own personal views concerning these various issues.

Please note that these results by no means represent a scientific poll.
While users can only vote once per issue being as IP addresses are logged by
the Ballot Box external, they can change their vote to something else at any
time, in case their views should happen to change at some point.

Here then are the results of the fifteen Ballot Box external questions:
