nice mix of facts you counted yourself, facts you learned for work (presumably), and facts you made up. also - i'm trying to tell you i answer polls, but it's not letting me at the moment. so, um, yes.

I've been struggling with my response to the poll for a few days now. Generally, I don't respond to surveys, but, given this particular poll question, it is difficult for me to respond accurately! I'm responding with a write-in vote of "sometimes."
