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 useOriginally posted by vetran View Postif your poll option miss choices you never thought of then you can be sure you will get a good telling off!

If the polls were perfectly good, there would be no reason to find fault.Originally posted by doodab View PostDo you like to find fault with perfectly good polls for no reason?
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.Comment

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.Comment
