I intend to create a poll using Surveymonkey with the following questions, or something like them. THIS IS NOT THE POLL, it is a request for comments on the questions before I create the online poll. For example, I've listed, in the first question, resources I use or used to use--which ones should I add?
If you are interested in "sweep of history" boardgames, you might want to try that poll at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=807321722096.
