So far, there are 20 responses, and I have printed them out and 
stored them.  I'll add in stragglers as they come in, but otherwise, 
I'll just sit tight until OoP comes out.  In the meantime, I thought 
it might be fun for you all to know how your list mates answered so 
that you can see if you are mainstream or out on a limb by yourself.  
(Since some listies aren't members of OT Chatter, I thought I'd post 
this here so everyone who answered can read it.)
