Since a poll about this very topic has been closed in IMHO with the added suggestion that it’d be taken to the Pit, I am doing just that.

These are the original choices:

\*\*A-I have participated in the thread and I AGREE with Starving Artist’s arguments.

B-I have participated in the thread and I DISAGREE with Starving Artist’s arguments.

C-I have NOT participated in the thread and I AGREE with Starving Artist’s arguments.

D-I have NOT participated in the thread and I DISAGREE with Starving Artist’s arguments.  
\*\*  
I do want to make clear that choices **“C” & “D”** implicitly state – in THIS poll – that you have at least read enough of the thread in question to know the position taken by The Undefeated King Of Encores, Mr. **StarvingArtist**.

Any & all are welcome to tally the (running) total. Please try to keep your responses down to the bare minimum as I’d like this to be just that, a poll, and not a rehash of the original thread. If there are no objections, I’d like this thread to close by 6:00 P.M. this Friday, October 5th.

* * *

That said, my vote is **B**
