If I answer a poll, I do so over the first coffee of my day, and I'm often surprised at what chaotic jumble drips out from my mind.

These polls have absolutely no statistical value; however, the comments are always of great value. I learn a lot from them!

I agree with some of the comments, especially the reading of comments, some of which could take a few pages or a chapter when someone feels very strongly about his/her topic.

I've also enjoyed the polite and wise answers to some sarcastic and holier-than-thou statements I've seen.

I guess these polls are sometimes like car or people watching, a way to idle minutes away between tasks. ▲ Collapse

Other Sep 3, 2017

Literally "Other": I normally answer "other" (as to this very poll), usually because the polls are so badly formulated that "other" is the only possible answer.

... humourously, I hope.
Bearing in mind that, apparently, what we write on line remains visible somewhere until the end of time, I occasionally judge it wiser not to reply at all.
