Interim poll reports, and a plea
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1216310769.shtml


   As of this writing, here are the poll figures:
   Truth in Ratings?
   Underrated: 38%
   Rated about where I should be: 45%
   Overrated: 15%
   Anand or Kramnik?
   Anand: 63%
   Kramnik: 37%
   And now the plea. I know it's fun to keep running tabs, but multiple
   voting wrecks the poll, especially if a lot of people are doing it.
   Please have a little patience (we are chess players, after all; it's
   in the job description). The alternatives are for me to pay to block
   multiple votes from an IP address, which isn't financially worth it,
   or to put the results up all the time, which is also known to skew
   voting. There's no ideal solution that I'm aware of, so I ask all of
   you to be kind to each other and to me and to wait a little while for
   me to report on the data.
