I doubt that that will happen, since someone will vote "no" just to be ornery.

I don't feel they will.
I expect the honesty I have come to respect from BABB members.
They will only be deceiving themselves.

Actually it is working out quite well.
I just intended to show how inaccurate polls can be; by the false responses from the masses. \/ :^o #-o 8)

I just did a google on the reliability of statistics and polls, and guess what was cited as a sample for the con argument?

I couldn't answer the poll because it was flawed, lacking the two other questions which should have been on there:

3. Sometimes

4. I don't know
