Re: [IAC#RG] Final Opinion Poll results

              Hello friends
                 An effort in this direction is laudable. Corruption is eating away the confidence and wealth of the nation and nobody seems to be bothered to do something to rectify the situation. In this scenario efforts by this group has to be apreciated as they have at least acknowledged the situation and made it a point for the middle class society to react. So far so good.
         The elites are the utmost beneficieries of the present day situation which is creation of them and for them alone so much so they never react to such exercises or even try their best to discourage and stop the effort. All medias are under their thumb as they cultivate good relation with the madia by honoring them with huge advertisement bills making them endeared and pampered lot. Best wishes and regards for the effort to highlight the extent of corruption in the society perpetrated at the behest of political entitities and ruling class in general. Let everybody participate.

Dear Dr. Badukwala

I would be obliged if you can get the basic facts correct.

1) IAC did not "interview" 164 people. We are trying out some
polling software and our internet in-charge requested volunteers
from this list to help him test the software.

2) Several weaknesses have been identified and were plugged in
real-time.

3) The results of the "poll" were interesting. We shared them
at 75 votes, 100 votes and 164 votes. Nobody is claiming they
are representative of anything. It is simply raw data which is being
shared. You are free to draw your own conclusions. Just for
your information, IAC has the IP address record of each and
every "vote" cast along with who the vote was cast for. We shall
be improving the software based on such analysis to prevent
vote stuffing.

4) Now to the real issues here,
a) Did you Sir cast a vote ?
b) Were you unable to cast a vote because of some flaw in the software?
c) Was your vote wrongly recorded / was it tampered with thereafter ? Or,
d) Do you just simply disagree with the votes recorded because it doesn't agree'
with what you think should be the reality.

5) At least we polled 160+ people openly. Some of the most important decisions
affecting you and me are taken by 5 or 6 people sitting at night in some bar
or hotel room with whores and coke on the house.
