Hm...a few more questions:[/b]
What opinion does this give you about the poll creator?
Does it make them look more or less trustworthy?
Do you think this would potentially bias results?
And if so could biased results of this poll, if used as a foundation to form an argument for public policy hurt others?
1.) It doesn't effect my opinion of the poll creator because I do not take polls here seriously. I take worker proposals seriously.
2.) I'm beginning to gleam the circumstances that might be causing you to ask, but I haven't seen the original thread. I think you should just write it off, whatever it is, your polls aren't hurting anything.
3.) Yes, if it had enough of a sample to be representative of the community, adjusted for lurkers, otherwise it's a moot point, which is the case in every forum poll ever posted by any member of this forum ever.
4.) Yes. I believe it's already happened here, but doesn't involve you, and I'd prefer not to elaborate.
If I had known this thread was prompted by some other thread initially I may not have responded. Whatever it is, don't let it get to you fuzzy.
