Hello M.P. and David,

Thanks for the comments and suggestions!

Unfortunately, the bulletin board software of the forum (or any other forum for that matter I think) can only have a maximum of 10 choices. If an 11th option were possible, we could have added "All of the above".

Of course the other option would be to tick off all the 'boxes', as some have done, given that multiple answers are allowed. I realize though that this is inconvenient.

Before posting this poll, I've also thought of having as choices a predetermined set of criteria, with different ranking of the various criteria per 'box'. But it was becoming unwieldy, so I thought we can just settle for a more simplistic approach.

Notwithstanding the said limitations, I think however that the results have already captured the psyche of the ethnic weapon collector.

I guess we knew this all along, except that this time we would like to do some quantification, which is now apparent.

Thanks again for the comments, and to all those who participated!
