Thanks all who responded.

To answer John, my reasoning is that I came into TSM to an already setup
system. I was not around for the initial setup so any changes and new needs
that we have and that I make to the system I make with extreme caution. I
read, use tools, this list, FAQ's and, I like polls. They give me the "feel"
of things that others are doing.

I realize that these are averages and that TSM is very site specific, but in
making changes to an existing system I like to know that what I am
attempting to implement is not "unheard of".

This poll was a success in my eyes. I got the information that I was looking
of, hope it helps others as well.

That's all, thanks.

Mark when you give out the results, can you also tell us what is the
reasoning behind your question.
To my mind the number of pools you have depends almost entirely on site
specific issues.

thanks,
John
