Okay!  Here it is!  Finally!  After so long everyone's probably wondering 'poll?  What
poll?  I don't remember any poll?'  But I got it done.  My thanks to all who
participated.  And particular thanks to all the lurkers for their input...it was
nice to see some new names and new opinions.  Now just get out here and talk to
us, ok? :-)

Ok...first of all, not everyone voted in every category.  However in most cases
the winners were pretty clear early on.  I have not included the results
of the favorite scene category cause I'd like to put them in a file and post
it for everyone to share the good memories.  This will probably take a while, 
since ballots are scattered all over 3 accounts!  But I'll do my best.
So, on to the results!

(Oh, and these are in order, ie the person listed as #1 got the most
votes, #2 got second most etc.)

Favorite Male Character

1.  Jack! (tie)
