Aw, shucks.  Don't go.  I'll keep my skepticism on this here leash and I
promise it won't get out of hand again.

Seriously, though, even using "seems" doesn't make the result hold water.
It doesn't really "seem" that these topics are preferred by the CEDA-L
community.  Absent a larger number of respondents (or a randomization
rather than self-selection for survey results), these results don't even
"seem" to show that, at least not to me.  Yeah, I'm nit-picking again.
Sorry.  I'll go back to my lab work now.
