Glad you like the newsletter. Its a bit of fun and can be informative too!

Welcome to the forum also, zzottt! :D

I am looking forward to the complete results too. I have had a quick look at things as they stand but not looked into the details in depth just yet.

The surveys are still coming in strong. 1154 of them now.

Do spread the word about the survey on other forums people! The more poeple who respond, the better.

Yes, you have. Sorry.

It won't make much difference though. I mean, if there are more than 2 of us I'll eat a penguin or something.

The survey is going great. 1,600 responses now which is nice.

I have posted a few threads around on some other Floyd sites to get other people involved too. I shall make the results available in a nice PDF file so people can stick it on their own websites if they like!

I posted details of the survey on that horrible PFCO website and they decided to delete my thread! How pathetic and rude!! The agreeable and nice people at Col Turner's site and Pink Floyd Online are more positive about it!

If anyone participates in any other Floyd sites, then please do spread the word and ask your friends there to participate.

I am going to see how long it takes to get to 2,000 surveys submitted as that would be more reflective of fans in general I think. Or tomorrow.

We're supposed to believe that PFCO stands for "Pink Floyd & Company"? HA! HA! Pink Fraud & Con Artists is more like it.

PFCO is not even a real fan's Pink Floyd website, so I would not worry about it. Unfortunately, there are always going to be some people who are jealous of the good ideas found on this site (e.g., the big survey, NPF Webzine, numerous threads on this board, etc.)

Surprised to see The Division Bell doing better than Piper

Even more surprised to see someone voted on Terminal Frost
