Here are the results for which you have all been so patiently
waiting. My thanks to all who have participated:

Total Voting: 63

Since some characters were left out of some people's responses,
not all characters have an equal number of votes. Statistically
speaking, this is a no-no, but since I'm not getting paid by
to do this poll, (yes, I DO have a life...), I feel this is as 
accurate as it needs to be.

How to read the stats:

Name   Number of votes for this person    Average Score
 |        /                                 /
 |      /                                 /
Picard 47-8.77 <- - - - - - - - - - - - -



As you can see, Picard wins first place, closely followed by
Lt. Cmdr. Data and Guinan.

Also, although I personally am not an avid "Wesley" crusher, 
[BIG PUN INTENDED - Read It Again]
he did end up at the bottom of the stack. 
I sense Troi follows close behind him in the race for 
last place.


Other characters:

Barclay:  6.29 (7 votes)
Yar:      5.08 (12 votes)
Keiko:    5.43 (7 votes)
Lwaxanna: 5.33 (15 votes)
Pulaski:  3.42 (12 votes)

(Sorry to those of you who sent single vote characters.)




Some of the unsolicited (and publishable) comments were:

Wesley: "He's getting better"; "Death to the Crushers";

Troi: "Useless character"; "Needs better lines";

O'Brien: "Needs more/better dialog";


Basically, most of the comments were "don't get rid of
the characters or actors, just get better writers."


The data is available (why anyone would want it, I have
absolutely no clue) in Lotus 1-2-3 or Microsoft
Works form. If you really want to see it, let me know.
All names, addresses, etc. have not been included on the
spreadsheet.

Thanks again for all your help. I had a blast!

I'm outa here...
