Could we PLEASE kill the Polling?

Ah, but there have been useful posts and threads. :) But the greatest flaw of them is their lack of flexbility. (see my last post) If you were going for factual data, "have you ever been convicted of a felony?" then a poll might work. Of course we still don't know what kind of felony it was. Nor can you possbiliy list all the possbile felonies effectively.

If you will notice, most of the polls you see on the news are usually large scale (>1000) and are meant to be a sample of a larger population. That's because it's impossbile to interview a million people in a timely fashion. There are not millions of people at the lounge. :)

Polls are flawed and they leave out people's opinions. There is nothing a thread can do that a poll can't.

Polls like "Do you believe time travel exists?" (No offense, it's just convient) are vague because it's not that simple. Heck, even a poll on polls was a pain. :P
