> [@RachelChristine](#): > > Fun Fun! At any point does anyone plan on compiling a list so we can see what the top answers are quickly? I’ll volunteer if no one plans to and someone tells me how many answers I should wait for. Wonderful! I had thought of doing such a thing but will gladly turn the task over to you. I believe FF usually claims the Survey went to 100 people, but I suspect the bloom will be off this rose well before it hits 100. Maybe half that? 50? Any better ideas(s)? Thanks so much for volunteering. As a reward for doing it, would you like to start the next round by posting a new set of topics? Is 9 about right, or would you go for more? ---
