My opinoin on polls.

Personally, I find them mildly irritating. That's why I don't usually read them.
Different strokes for different folks. Glad it's supposed to be a free country.

Hate 'em! Wayyyyy too overused, they are the spam of this site.
And to all the "free speechers", I don't usually read them!
CSXguy, welcome, but enough polls already! And I think you've set a record, almost 100 posts in one day??

Did you really just join this forum a day or two ago and start 14 polls? I'd suggest reading through the old threads to try to "discover more about the World's Greatest Hobby." The time spent might be more productive for you.

I like them when they are interesting. Lately we're getting a lot of polls on polls. Frankly, it's getting boring - I think I'm just going to skip the polls pn polls for a while.
Enjoy

Neither here or there.

If I see one that's model railroad related, I quickly speed read it. If it's interesting, I vote and move on, if it's not I just move on and don't respond.

Seems simple enough.[D)][:P]

I'm a neutral kinda guy when it comes to polls. I'd be much more enthusiastic if those polls were initiated by the staff of Model Railroader - Trains - Walthers, etc. But since many of them simply are whimsical (to be polite) - I enjoy the responses more than the questions.

Interaction between members willing to participate ain't all that bad. For the serious at heart - which at times is my category - "Just say no!" If the question doesn't flick your bic skip it.




Happy Railroading! Siberianmo
