[Introspective] Final results of poll on the last time you "evangelized" for PSB

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll of the past week, in which I asked 
my site visitors when the last time was that they "evangelized" for the 
Pet Shop Boys -- that is, tried to convince somebody how good they are 
or perhaps even convert them to fandom. And the response chosen by the 
largest number of voters was:

* "Within the past year," picked by 22.4% of the voters.

To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at 
http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and select one of the "Past Survey 
Results" options in the top navigation bar, or click the appropriate 
link on my "What's New?" page.

My new poll for the week ahead is a little more like a "game" even than 
usual. I'm using the internet meme "1 Has 2 Go," which has been adopted 
and popularized lately by "Billboard" magazine, which often plays it 
with celebrities. Known as "the game of impossible choices," the concept 
is simple: present people with three admittedly wonderful things and ask 
them to choose the one that they would "throw away," with the 
understanding that they could then "keep" the other two. So I'm asking 
you to "play" this week with three PSB studio albums. Of course, 
narrowing them down to just three is a daunting task, the results of 
which I'm sure will displease many of you. I've chosen what I firmly 
believe -- based on a good deal of experience, not to mention online 
research -- are the Pet Shop Boys' three greatest classics, the ones 
most generally acclaimed among fans and critics alike: "Actually," 
"Behaviour," and "Very. The rule is that "1 Has 2 Go." You get to choose 
the "loser," at least when compared to the other two. So please take all 
the time you need to mull this over and, when you're ready, make your 
choice right there on my home page. Maybe it will indeed be a tough 
choice for you. Maybe not.

Meanwhile, thanks to everyone who voted in last week's survey! And I 
wish you all a terrific week ahead!
