This week's survey was prompted by a reader who returned home from a business trip to find his driveway littered with unsolicited and unwanted newspapers.
(See "Those plastic bags -- Sales pitch? Invasion of privacy? Invitation to burglary?")
Chart of poll 'results'
Readers' 'Other' responses were captured by the 'poll widget' and are below, as captured.

- There should be a municipal ordinance prohibiting the distribution of any and all
- Fine the company if the household has opted out and continues to receive them.
- Don't permit it within the city limits of Plainfield. Charge violators for pickup
- IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL
Clearly, readers who responded find them annoying.
But PT learned that this little 'poll widget' gadget isn't really suited to gather your input this way.
First of all, it seems to have a limited number of character spaces and anything typed in beyond that goes into the ether. Secondly, it allows blank input, which a real survey form would not.
So, it was an interesting experiment, but back to the drawing board.
If and when you see another 'survey' question, it will mean that PT has found a widget that truly does the job.
Thanks to all for their input!
