The polls I enjoy the most are those where I go "what the hell??? I don't know, auuugggghhhhh!!!." LOL

I should clarify that I am only talking about prog polls.Wink

By definition, I'm going to have to vote yes.

Some of you may have noticed that when I launch a poll I have a tendency to fill up all the available slots.  It's all fun. Big smile

I prefer easy polls. Tongue
 
To be fair, there are probablu too many variables to answer this accurately.

I'm just going to sit on the fence as far as this one is concerned.

I think so, so to it make evenly matched, I had to vote 'no'. To act accordingly to the poll option, I had to vote 'yes'; if supporting yes, I must vote no.

I'm afraid this poll will stay fairly even and we will never know.

As I think "Yes" should win this poll by the slightest of margins, I voted Yes so the poll now is 13-12 in favor of Yes....
