Your proclaimed desire to operate at a third grade level does not change
the long-standing rule in this echo about names.  The rest of your response
meant nothing.  You posted selected parts of a Harris INTERACTIVE Poll,
apparently without realizing the flaws in the methodology.  I posted some
other parts from that poll, along with results of a more scientifically
credible poll.  You haven't seemed to understand any of the thread yet. 
Your proclaimed desire to use a third grade level of discourse does not
require you to use a third grade understanding of statistics.
