Default Does Flappist Post to Many polls

This is a pole to see if Flappist posts too many polls?

A better Poll would be to see if Flappist is getting paid to run Polls.

To poll, or not to poll, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler on the forum to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous posts,
Or to take arms against a sea of zealots
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.

Is that Yes or NO.

Two Polls a week should be sufficient.

A forum, by the very nature of it, is a place for individuals to gather and discuss matters of interest. I consider that we are fortunate here at AFF to have a number of members who are willing to think outside the square and present different views for others to consider. I don't always agree with them but I will resolutely defend their right to those views as long as they adhere to the site T&C and polls are one of the ways we have available for others to express their opionion in an easy to use manner.

In short, my answer is no.

Cheers
Russ

Flappist doesn't think outside the square. He usually throws the square out the window.

I answered No. Flappatheticals are fun !

I voted "Obviously Has Poll Addiction", or would that be "Obviously Has Pole Addiction"

Flappist's polls are great fun and a good break from the norm (no, I don't mean you 4vman). Perhaps this thread should be taken the same way keep em up Flappist.

Who cares.

If the polls are a waste of time, they wouldn't be kept open.

If people respond in turn, then it's clearly worth it.

Should we have a poll about who folds or scrunches?

I love flappists Flappotheticals. They're great for slow work days and often require quite a bit of thought to answer accurately. Keep up the good work flap.
