Please don't crosspost all over the site.

And who is "we"?

[NextGenSeq]

No thanks. Any poll which requires identifying myself opens one to the floodgates of spam.

I did not look at it, but an electronic popularity contest of this sort would be nearly meaningless no matter how it was conducted. I was just trying to get some sort of read on who the guys posting the poll were. Probably is just someone collecting email addresses for targeted spam.

Hello all
I have posted this poll just to know how many people are using solexa. This poll was a team work of few friends from genomics field. This poll link does not ask for any personal details, if you are a member in Linkedin it takes you to the voting page and thats it.
To make things more clear we do not collect email ids...

Thanks
Sri

The poll is created by a group of genomics professionals, if you see the link its from linkedin which is a networking group. To participate in this poll you do not require to furnish your details and I do not collect email ids...
Happy voting...
Regards,
sri

srirang, in the future if you are going to query the users of this site for information that will undoubtedly be used for commercial purposes, I ask that you identify yourself and your organization clearly in the post. I understand the author/affiliation is listed on the poll, but you'd probably get a better response by being more straightforward.
