This site is a terrific example of what the web can do... lots of very sharp and helpful folks who are more than willing to provide information to those that ask and are interested. Thank you!

But, after being around this site for a while, I got curious... Who the heck are you? What's your background/education/training? Are there a lot of engineers here? Seems like a lot of folks who are earning a living as programmers/coders. Just curious.

My background: pharmacists/toxicologist teaching at University of Maryland.

It's a bad sign in poll design when you have half a dozen categories pulling the same or less than "other"? Suggests that you do not have a clue about your sample population.

Gee, and here I thought the purpose of a poll was to find out the answer to a question you didn't know, and thus might accidently give poll choices that would result in an imperfect distribution.

University grad. student (just two more months, I can make it) and software coder.

It's an even worse sign when someone assesses the effectiveness of a poll at a headphone forum when there are only 12 responses. Suggests that you do not have a clue.

Physician for 22 years...ouch, that sounds old!

I also have a number of businesses as well.

University student for two more months, then probably business.

I highly recommend not being a business major. It's very boring.

BTW, shouldn't this be in the Member's lounge???
