There are many inherent faults in this concept, but would it be useful?  To

This idea would:

1. Provide a wokable and reasonably democratic marketing tool for TLG to probe

3. Possible disadvantage: Could create a "minority being ruled out effect". I
mean that certain elements that a few people realy would like to order but are
not interesting enough for the majority, maybe never make it to the list of
elements that can be ordered. There would not be any "surprises".
