[Introspective] Final results of poll on importance of album track order

[Wayne Studer]

Better late than never! More about that in a moment. But first to 
business --

The final results are in for my poll this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors whether they consider track order to be important for an 
album. And the choice that received the most votes was:

* "It's fairly important, but not enough to make the difference between a 
good album and one that's not so good," chosen by 39.5% of the voters.

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.

My new survey for the week ahead is inspired by the recent release of the 
Pet Shop Boys' "Party" album. I'm wondering whether you have ever purchased 
a PSB release simply for its unique graphic artwork despite it completely 
duplicating music that you already own? Thanks to Mr. Aloysius Fairbanks for 
suggesting this question.

And thanks to everyone for voting in last week's survey! But I must also 
extend my thanks to many of you for your patience. As you may have noticed, 
I was much later than usual in posting my Sunday updates. When I started my 
computer and tried to access the Internet, I found that I was unable to do 
so! After repeated failed attempts, I got on the phone to my Internet 
service provider, who informed me (after putting me on hold for over an 
hour) that they were suffering a "general service disruption" but they 
expected service to be restored in four to six hours. I should try again at 
that time. So I did, and now all is well again. I apologize for any 
inconvenience.

Have a great week ahead!
