    Oi, less of the aimless ramblings unless you want to be mistaken for a hpuse alter-ego!
  • What a compete waste of time on every ones parts.

    As a newbie lets have informed conversations not flame wars because some people have axes to grind.

    Well, as I posted the poll, it was only my time spent on it, and if no one is interested in voting or reading the thread concerned, they won't be wasting their time will they?

    The poster who wrote the post that the poll refers to was the person who brought up the subject of a poll up in the first place. I bet if the results were supporting their view then they wouldn't consider it a waste of time, but as this isn't the case, I think that the results speak for themselves.

    The whole problem was that the original post contained little informed content

    45 - 4 at the mo, which by MSE standards means that 92% of the population think the thread in question is misleading and leads to unmet expectations ;)
