Agree :) Guess that's why I'm reinventing the wheel writing
all SurvPC scripts from bottom up... <g>.

Good luck then! :) Oh BTW, there are some additional list
members at:
http://www.egroups.com/groups/survpc/
Most are unique (not listed as the main list's member). There's
no way I could tell how many our web-only readers, though. IIRC
eGroups has listowner-accesible hit counter, but not the rest of
web archive mirrors. Just tell me when you about to conclude
the survey, I'll post an agregated count.

I believe verifying e-mail ownership will be adequate. Visitor
fill out and submit the form, then a small email automatically
sent to his/her address with an unique URL to confirm the entry.
Uncorfirmed survey entries are considered not valid, and purged
after a predefined time (to safe disk space). Besides, I don't
think people will cheat by opening a bunch of free webmail
accounts, that's way too time consuming ;-).
The easiest way to store each voter's account probably in a text
file named after his/her email address. For example, mine
will be:
/home/survpc/data/scripts/poll_00/e/p/r_telkom_net
(secure, inaccessible from web server's document root)
Yeah, that's *NIX realm's wonder, all right... virtually anything
could be handled with simple text files <g>.
