FTR, it is QualityCentral not Code Central.

Sorry, less than 250 people have "signed" it. Most used multiple votes to
reach
the 657 votes.

How many is 'less than 250'? How did you determine that? Is it publicly

accessible information?
Even so, in the context of this discussion 249 is still a significant number
as the number who signed the C++Builder letter was ~350.

Jeff wrote the server. He has access to the information.

I think a QC client could display that information, yes. Not positive.

It would be a good metric to display on a report:
- # of votes
- # of unique voters
- avg # of votes/voter

At first blush, you might think that. It was also a very different

scenario when people provided details on how they use C++Builder and so
on.
Also, while the C++Builder letter helped, please don't assign too much
importance to it. It was only ONE factor, of several that were more
compelling, which helped decide on Borland's direction of a new
C++Builder inside Delphi.
And sorry, but I am not free to share the details on the other factors.

With all due respect, here's what I would like you to do...stop talking

about 64-bit Delphi. Seriously. it is a waste of bandwidth and it
irritates the pig.

As has been pointed out many times before, that is not sufficient.

It very much depends who those people are. I'd be willing to bet it

would take very few signatures if they were from the right people (ie
the biggest customers).

No. A letter with names and companies on it that was sent to the

right people would do a lot better than something on QC.
