You are correct...and while I would prefer a single answer, those who pick
multiples aren't necessarily hurting anything...remember, this is in no way
rocket science, just an impromptu survey to keep us from having to gloam
info out of the many posts here.

But while that is an honest answer, it's not realistic enough for the needs,
is it? I'm watching some of these questions closely, because numbers in
great disparity on some of them will show how realistic the answers are. If
everyone says that they "would like to try to make it" to an event, and one
is developed on that basis, what happens when those people "tried but
couldn't pull it off"? That's the kind of thing I am MOST interested in, as
I look forward at donating my time to running an event, ya' know?
