Hi, all:
I just want to thank those of you who responded to
my movie poster survey for doing so.
I also want to encourage those of you who haven't
to do so now, if possible. I'm still short of the number of responses I need for
this to be as representative as I would like it to be, statistically speaking.
In any case, if you intend to take part, please try to get it to me by Wednesday
night, latest. I will need to start tabulating the results by Thursday
(Oct. 19) of this week.
Just so you don't have to go looking for it, the
survey is included below. To respond, click Reply and fill it in
by placing an X or other mark next to the appropriate response, then click
Send to get it to me.
Thanks again,
Dave Rosen
