    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      These yes/no polls are a bit limited in choice. Can we have something with a few more options?

        WHS; pickiness is a context dependent attribute.

          if your poll option miss choices you never thought of then you can be sure you will get a good telling off!


          Why doesn't your poll have?

          1. I'm just precise its not my fault you are sloppy typical Man/Woman/Chimp delete as appropriate.

          3. This poll is biased against Aardvarks.

          77. Where is I am far richer than Yow option?

            The point of a poll is to pick one of the pollsters options. If you want to turn a yes/no question into a 500 word essay then there is a "create new thread" button you can use

                If the polls were perfectly good, there would be no reason to find fault.
                If you find a fault, it's because they fail the "perfectly good" test.

                Every fault generally has a reason attached to it.

                Every perceived fault described usually illustrates the pollsters failure to consider a wider set of possibilities.

                  I find fault with polls which have no appropriate answer for me, or polls which have ranges which overlap, or polls which have ranges that miss border values, or polls which have an ambiguous question or question that contracdicts the thread title, or polls which fail to provide an adequate, and preferably amusing, AndyW option.

                  This poll passes. Just.

                    So that's a yes then.
