Depends what you mean by "community".  It's really a matter of how many people answered 
the poll.  The proportion the sample represents of the total number of D programmers is 
liable to get smaller as D becomes an ISO/ANSI/whatever standard, gains more and more 
third-party compilers and is adopted by more and more businesses, since many of the users 
will not be coming through Digital Mars and so are less likely to be active on these 
'groups.  And so, in the long run, the poll results are likely to understate the growth in 
the number of D users.

Though publicising the poll in as many D-related forums as we can find will help to 
counter this....
