POLL: Another Curiosity Thread

Post by DreamDiver » Thu Aug 21, 2008 7:10 am

It might be nice to have a snapshot of who makes up our board.
Sometimes it's hard to put yourself into one category, so let me make a suggestion:
Pick the one or two items that best describe you.
Since the poll won't allow picking more than two items, you can better define your situation in the thread if you like, or you can remain somewhat anonymous by just filling out the poll.

The poll should be pretty easy to figure out,
but just in case, I'll spell it out:

xPAP Users: choose one of the first five only
or
Sleep Professionals and Significant Others: choose one of the second five only.

Choosing two options:
If you are both a user and a professional or SSO, choose the one of the xPAP options and one of the professional options.
If you are a supportive significant other and xPAP user, only check SSO if you joined to ask questions that would help your significant other rather than yourself. (We'll assume you're a supportive significant other in every other respect. )
