This poll is no different than the initial poll of committed backers.
It is just an update as to who "remains " committed after so long.

As far as individuals from outside the forum who invested...
yes good point.
and yes ..
a more direct method of ascertaining EXACTLY who still is committed could and should be done by the neo team.
Rather ..it should be stated...that over the years it should have been done...a few times. So that everyone was continuously apprised of the situation.

So.
Here we are.
They (the neo team) didn't.
And finally a few here ARE actually asking pertinent questions that need answers.
The team still is silent ..with no official statements ..no official updates...no official answers to these questions.

There is no harm in this poll.
It will simply confirm the numbers of those committed or not committed who are still following the neo project from this forum.
So resulting numbers reflect that.

As far as not expecting a refund Kabouik...
you may not expect one.
But I most certainly do considering the project statement of pre order monies being considered a down payment...
and said monies have sat accruing interests in the bank for the last ump-tine years now...at a decent interest rate...
There is little doubt in my mind...that the team may chew through costs equating to the interest..and perhaps a bit into the principle...
but not everyone's total down payment as well.
I suggest you read up on the official statements concerning down payments.

What?
The poll will tell us EXACTLY how many of the original 200 pre order committed individuals ..from this forum... are committed still.
At this moment the poll results speak volumes to the opposite of your statement that it will tell us nothing.
I know my vote..and I know...so far the vote of 14 others.
185 to go.

The poll ends new years eve.
By then ..it will be obvious ..
of those who follow the forum here...
who WERE committed years and years ago...
whether or not...NOW.... ARE committed.

subtract all the answers on new years day ...yea and nay... from 200.
and there you have the number of people who :
1- do not follow the forum here.
and/or
2- have abandoned their commitment and interest and moved on.
and/or
3- are too financially / real-world problem afflicted / infirm / died since the initial calculation of committed investors was done and cannot respond.
