sshhhh! you're biasing the poll.  
Now nobody is gonna want to pick 4 or 5. ;-)

That's a good addition.  
8) I'm an artist with a creative vision.  Muds are my potter's wheel, my 
  pen and writing desk, or my canvas and palette.

and how about..

9) I am a academic.  I wish to study the dynamics of social interaction, 
psychological implications, economics, politics or other implications and 
potentials of virtual worlds.


And another possible poll more directed at scale.

The mud I want to administer, develop, code, or build has....
1) 100000+ users
2) 10000+ users
3) 1000+ users
4) 500+ users
5) 250+ users
6) 100+ users
7) 50+ users
8) 10+ users
9) Just me, Bubba, Boffo and Biffy
10) Just me.

ObAside: I just noticed I stutter and leave out crucial words when I 
attempt to post post complete sentences awkwardly constructed.  Pointing 
out might this cause me trauma and of self-esteem.  Do so our mutual 
peril.   My apologies...  8-/
