[Introspective] Final results of poll on whether PSB are close to their fans

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors whether they believe the Pet Shop Boys are "close" to their 
fans. And the response that received the most votes was:

* "Yes, in some ways -- but no, not in others," chosen by 23.6% of the 
voters.

Ah, the relative comfort of fence-sitting. (I kid, I kid! ;-) To see the 
complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at 
http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and click the "Past Survey Results" 
button in the left navigation bar.

This week's new poll is, I hope, a fun one in which we get to demonstrate 
our collective skill at "prognostication." Inspired by a wager made by one 
of my site visitors with a friend of hers -- as well as by speculations over 
the past few months in various online fan forums about the title of the 
upcoming new PSB album -- I'm wondering what you think will be the first 
letter of that album's title. Oh, I know that some of you will consider this 
a rather silly exercise. But I've always believed a little silliness now and 
then is good for the soul. Let's just hope that, if the Boys are inclined to 
announce the title anytime soon, they'll hold off at least until next week. 
Otherwise I'll have to bring this poll to a close mid-stream. Whatever the 
case, thanks to Cindy F for suggesting this question. And good luck on the 
wager!

Thanks also to everyone who voted in last week's survey! I wish you all 
Happy Holidays and a wonderful week ahead -- and specifically, to those of 
you who observe it, have a very, very Merry Christmas!
