Ya know…between this, and the link test thread…I’m really disappointed. (Not in the threads…of course… What happened to the fun loving, sarcastic responses to innocent test threads that I NEED just to function every day? Now I’m going to have to go back to coffee. -D/a ---

So far I see 13 folks voting on this poll including myself; this is kinda like catching fish with an empty hook. I resent this poll getting more vote than some of my forgotten polls now in SDMB oblivion. How’s that? ---

I answered No, because as far as I can tell \*\*SCSimmons \*\*is not in fact “here.” I’m pretty sure it’s significant that the count was tied at 18 when I opened the thread. ---

I voted no. Yes seemed to be getting a little too arrogant about its lead. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/test-poll/604384.md?page=2)
