Ignore like the others if you are wise. This should be multiple choice with public options. ---

I am not wise, but I know I am not wise, thus making me the wisest of them all. Accordingly, I answered your poll. ---

Why do you need to test polls? I’d think you have more experience with them than anyone on the board. ---

A) You encouraged not participating - therefor I must. B) Public options says it all C) The thread title for some reason started a “Final Countdown” earworm for me and got me in a generally contrecouer mood. ---

I need an option for, Who is Taye Diggs and why is Skaldie interested in him? Therefore, I’m not answering this poll, rendering the results completely invalid. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > Why do you need to test polls? I’d think you have more experience with them than anyone on the board. Someone, in a poll I am too lazy to look up, suggested there might be a problem with polls in which the OP intended the results to be private, but they came out as public; such happened with a poll I started the day before yesterday. I was very careful in setting up the options, so I couldn’t figure out what the mistake was; thus I was trying to replicate it. Or something. ---

Being unlike the others, I answered.
