Polls don't really work on forums, Bergie.

Interesting discussion with valid points. <br /> <br />I think polls on sites are meant to be indicative of the opinion of the people who visit that site AND participate. Their not supposed to represent the opinions of everyone in the hobby which the site represents. (I think I repeated what everyone else said.) <br /> <br />Anyways, an issue was presented. What are the options and/or solutions? Do polls need disclaimers added that they are neither scientific nor representative of the overall hobby? [url="http://www.cnn.com/"]CNN[/url] has a disclaimer on their polls: <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <b>CNN Disclaimer</b> <br />This QuickVote is not scientific and reflects the opinions of only those Internet users who have chosen to participate. The results cannot be assumed to represent the opinions of Internet users in general, nor the public as a whole. [/quote] <br /> <br />That would take care of people on other sites referencing polls on this site to support their discussions.
