Self selecting polls are bunk.

Sure, but if we can twist them in our own direction, they're our bunk, right? ;)

VERY interesting indeed, that radical change in numbers/percentages on that poll...

It' be really interesting to see the results of an independent audit of the G&M server log, with specific attention to the poll returns. There ought to be a different DNS record for each and every vote. If there aren't, if there are any unaccounted for bulk numbers changes...

BB, no, they're always bunk. They are unscientific, totally baseless, popularity contests. There are no controls, no logs that matter beyond idle curiosity, nothing...

they are like American Idol for ideas.
