I _almost_ voted for ‘vd’. Realized what I was about to do just before I pulled the trigger–in time to make a safer choice. I’m not expecting ‘ss’ to do well either. ---

Definitely “lo”. Back in my simpler days when I was ignorant I _might_ have voted “ot”, but it isn’t even an option anymore and, frankly, just having it in a poll like this is rather insulting. ---

Back in my simpler days when I was ignorant I _might_ have voted “ot”, but it isn’t even an option anymore and, frankly, just having it in a poll like this is rather insulting. And yet, at this point, “ot” has a commanding lead in **clairobscur** ’s poll, having fully 100% more votes than any other one choice, or to put it another way, a resounding 2-to-1 lead! Even at this early stage in the vote, it looks like we have a weener! I know which bandwagon I’m jumping on! Now if y’all exsqueeze me, there’s an election over in Virginia I’m watching . . . . ---

I figured both of those votes were just glitches in the system, and I am considering reporting to the mods that their polling program is broken. ---

Hey, if it’s a test poll, it obviously needs rd: research and development! ---

SS was closest. I would have preferred SH, but I understand that a poll can only be so nuanced. ---

It seems clear at this point that the sound “o” has a significant popular appeal. Thanks for your enlightening votes and insightful comments. ---
