"None of the Above" Option[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#23)
by Ed Foster on Thu Sep 04, 2003 at 01:08:13 PM PDT

I thought about having a "None of the Above" option, but knowing my readers as I do, I was afraid everybody would choose it. And then we wouldn't learn anything. As it is, I'm starting to see a few things that surprise me, so I think it's going to be interesting to see what patterns emerge.

I did have to try to keep the list manageable, so I limited it to 20 companies that I think of as leaders in their markets. A good argument could be made for some others, I know. But I don't know that adding names would have guaranteed everyone could find someone to vote for. After all, I got my California gubernatorial ballot this morning -- 138 names, and I don't want to vote for any of them.
