Well?

Hey, I like the poll function and totally plan to use it in the future when I need advice from a post; like "should I, or shouldn't I"...
I think it's just gotten a bad wrap... well, that and having polls with ridiculous choices (see above).

:)
I cannot imagine a situation, other than voting on the simplest of issues, where it would be the best of all possible worlds to utilize the poll feature. I mean, this is a discussion board, yes? Where we can, you know, talk about stuff beyond a simple yes or no.

BUSTED!!! ;D
But seriously, I thought it would be the best format for the thread I started yesterday. I still think that today. It did seem to generate some controversy, but I like controversy, don't cha know.....

Sometimes people's answers from a discussion dance around an issue so much that you cannot pin-point what they really think. At least a binary yes or no gives the answer in short... then followed by discussion if they so choose.

I see your point. Hate that dancing <g>

Id agree that theyre of limited use in a discussion Forum but I think as long as theyre carefully worded they can be usefull when clear cut answers are wanted something like " How do You Pay for Your Meds?" A) ADAP B) employer insurance & Copay C) Self Pay D) Medicare or E) Mel Gibson is a bigot and an ASS HAT
