META off-topicality/Re: This list : POLITICS just in case

[Guest guest]

By the way, hardly anyone votes in polls anyway. I created two of

the most interesting and exciting polls possibly imaginable on topics

that should rouse the deepest passions of every last man, woman, and

child and only a statistically meaningless fraction of the lists

voted on them

If you're wondering which ones I'm talking about, it was the CLO

flavor poll on this list and the milk-drinking temperature poll on

the Raw Dairy list... How could anything be more universally

interesting than these???? If anyone wants to lift my spirits

both polls are still open! [strangely, however, the CLO poll looks

like it was somehow reset or something, as there were at least a

dozen votes when it was put out last fall, but now only 4. Must've

been some kind of strangeness. I just looked at it for the

first time in months.] It's not too late to make your voice be

heard!!!

Also, " the masses " on this list have continually demonstrated their lack of

interest in polls.
