While these polls are notoriously unscientific, I was surprised to see over half (57%) of the voting WSJ readerswere apparently none to impressed with the Chairman.
This is not surprising, since following the first link registers a vote of "F". The WSJ should have a better voting system, where simply following a link does not register a vote. I'm surprised Mr Ritholz does not realize this, since the page displayed a message like "Your vote was F on 1/23/2005 1:22 am". ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
