Chuck,

Flames aside, my question remains unanswered. Realize you have no obligation
to defend your position, but IMO if everyone included in the survey pays for
the survey all are entitled to a result.

If Evinrude, Yamaha, and Mercury ALL pay for a survey there must be a ranking
at the end of the survey. In this case Evinrude wins, no?

If the above is true, how do you explain your premise? Under the scenario you
described no one would fail to be first, no?

I suspect you may have reached an incorrect conclusion on this issue, senor.
Comment?
