No I don't

Yes, because I'm trying to bury something I posted that I am embarressed about lower on the page

ps- I also noticed I spelled embarrassed wrong in the poll questions, but they can't be edited.

| I don't, just 'cause I rarely explore the non-first pages. Its sometimes pretty funny on the WC pages... but a little annoying on the main page.

| No, and it bothers the hell out of me.
Especially when there's a thread on a topic, and someone revives an old poll on the topic. (Like the screaming thing.) Sometimes they revive two or three...

| Maybe we should all set our polls to close in 10 or 15 days.......

| Or maybe they should at least have a default to close after two weeks, or a month or something. If you really want your poll to be open forever you could still edit it but at least that way fewer old ones could be dreged up.
The duplicated screaming stuff is pretty darn silly.

| You should have closed the poll early to prevent sabotage by the 800000 people who think they're clever on f.net | |

Get a life, people... you could be living in Darfur. By the way, it's much more fun to annoy people who take things a bit too seriously, so you're enabling the behavior you're seeking to prevent by talking about it. Jehosephat! Don't y'all know how passive/aggressive works?...
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, forget I said anything... *goes to vote on the "Do you vote on polls" poll* | |

| LN,
Thanks for the great idea.
I'll have to give this a try.
Cheers.

Yes, people who think they're clever are very annoying to those of us who really ARE clever. 
Ahem. Anyway, I'm with Mauler, I usually vote when they first appear. Unless they're you-know-what, like this one. ( And sometimes even then. )

| Yes. And I'm going to try to wait until this one sinks several pages before I actually vote in it. | |

| Wouldn't it be funny if this was an old pole? And someone voted in it?
