    OK, I was making a point it's unlikely to average out to anything near what it should be, given the high egos. I realise we won't know that until everyone registered posts, and that is unlikely to happen. Having said that a sample of 30 usually appoximated to normality, so when we get there the result is likely to be similar to the whole population.
    Bollocks!

    Just as asking 30 people as they leave the Conservative Club who is going to win the General Election isn't likely to give a valid result.

    Baggy, you are the weakest link now f**k off!

      I thought we were talking about the popultion of people on CUK?
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Sounds like you need another poll

            I think we should have a poll to see if we need another poll!

            Failing that, a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll to see if we need a poll...

                    A pointless poll IMHO.

                    People will always over-estimate their own intelligence.

                    What is intelligence anyway ?

                    Being able to do the daily sudoku puzzle ?

                    Single-handedly inventing a cure for cancer ?

                    Designing a FTL jump drive ?

                    It's tempting to say someone like Einstein was hyper intelligent.

                    Yes he was, in one specific area perhaps.

                    But did he know how to boil an egg or paint a window ?

                    Would he therefore deserve to be in the top 1% ?

                    As I said, the poll is meaningless.

                    Apart from one thing...

                    That the people who especially answered 1% have inflated opinions of themselves and I suspect are not very nice people to know.

                    The rest just didn't understand the question...

                    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
