Lucky, your original post DID have the Word document attached. I also 
couldn't make any sense at all from the e-mail but when I opened the 
Word document, it was crystal clear.

Alan, the thing that threw me is that the key ranked them from 1 to 5 
and then you see all those zeros. The chart, as seen in the Word 
document, makes it clear that it is charting the number of votes, not 
just showing the ranking. The top varieties had zero votes for a quality 
of "1" or "2" but big numbers under the "4" and "5" columns.

I thought I could make a shorter and clearer explanation than how Lucky 
explained it. I think I failed.
