....sorry, who are you?

Does it matter or do you only answer surveys given by celebrities?? ;)

Don't take candy from a stranger or surveys from unknowns, eh? :)
He could be working for the IRS, KGB, AND the YAKUZA...answering this questionaire could be a life and death decision if you answer incorrectly ("my age?... 25...I mean 26, 26!! --BANG BANG-- ) :)



@Jay
If these forums have a poll feature, you might want to try that first. Much better response rate that way.

I would also recommend that you make your requests more tidy. Your original post is a mess and doesn't encourage people to reply, you know? Hell, it takes a minute to even figure out where the poll is and in that minute, you lost me!!

Good Luck, celebrity!!!! :)
