The post on soft drink terms has elicited a great deal of response (on my other blog as well). Many people want a little more granularity; well, it was brought to my attention that Google Maps based survey is up. You can vote and increase the N.

Back in January, at ScienceOnline2010, Sheril Kirshenbaum, Dr. Isis, and I led a session called "Online Civility and Its (Muppethugging) Discontents". Shortly after the session, I posted my first thoughts on how it went and on the lessons I was trying to take away from it.
Almost two months later…
Apparently the poll traffic has crashed the chrismore.com server. I'll try again later.
All seems to be fine now! My host randomly will have issues with their database server due to a shared hosting setup.
The traffic didn't crash the server, but one of the other customers hangs the database connection for one reason or another.
Thanks for the post and I hope I can get some more votes!!
