Another Monday, Another Closed Poll. Last Week’s Better Than Ezra Poll Tally: **5** Voters / _29_ Selections, which as predicted garnered much less feedback than Week 21’s Abba Supplemental Poll with: **20** Voters / **108** Selections. (Different strokes, different folks I always say). Interesting factoid: No one who voted in the Better Than Ezra poll voted in the Abba poll, or vice versa. On to business: **1st: Honorable Mentions, Notes & Asides** [ul][li] **Everyone** who voted this week. “Aha, it was good hearing from ya!” (Sorry, could resist)[_] **AlbertRose ‡ Annie-Xmas ‡ Helena ‡ Neidhart ‡ Nocturne ‡ scott evil ‡ Usram** : Newcomers to the 6 @ 6.[_] **elfkin477** : For the Ezra poll bump.[/ul][/li] **2nd: Venus Fly Trap** “High Search Count” words used to control results through demographic alterations…This week’s desired group: Black Revolutionaries.
