Although it seems anti-climatic now, here are the results of
the poll I conducted. Results were sparse and the controversy
seemed to die down after 3-4 days, like most do (remember
handshakes). But a few of the responses were worth mentioning.
 
Yes-6
No-3
 
Actually, the 3 negative responses weren't really saying
that the NC** was equitable just that other things should
be taken into consideration.
 
IF IT WERE FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE, WOULD YOU VOTE IN FAVOR
OF COLLEGE HOCKEY'S SECESSION FROM THE NCAA?

I suggested:

Larry Haag asks:

PS- For some reason I can't mail anything to Eric Rickin or anyone
else at CLeveland so could Eric mail me and tell me why he likes
the Seattle T'birds (i.e. did you live there or something)?
