I voted “no” just to be a bastard. ---

I noted there was one more “no” vote than “yes” votes so ([since I may or may not be a Libra](http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/news/new-zodiac-sign-chart-ophiuchus-jan-13-2011)) I voted “yes” to even it out. ETA: And someone else voted in such a way to offset the balance! Good thing that I might now be a Virgo and not care. ---

I voted no because there should have been at least 73 more choices. ---

Why does this have more replies than my actual poll? Guess it proves the point that worthless threads don’t sink into oblivion… 😃 ---

I didn’t really think either option applied to me. I voted ‘no’ because there wasn’t an option for ‘other’. Flawed poll is flawed. ---

Since this is ATMB, I want to report post #3 for calling me a “bastard”. Personal insults are not allowed in this forum. ---
