I'm asking this because I was thinking about starting Foxtrot vs. SEBtP poll (which has only been done twice in the history of the site, surprisingly, to my knowledge.  I could be wrong; my search skills are nowhere near perfect), and also because I recently had a thread closed so that a preexisting thread that had been dead for almost a year could be used.  I'm fine with that, but when I posted on the old thread I got complaints about my reopening it!  I'm not complaining about anyone's opinions, I just wondered if there was a PA policy about this so that I could adjust my posting habits in the future.

 

If it seems likely the topic has already been discussed, a quick search should find old threads. Remember to change the default of "Last 6 months" to "Any date".

 

Polls that pitch one album against another or one band against another don't interest me so don't mind how many there are or how often they are repeated, I've never regarded Prog as a competitive sport.

 

I'm not mad about you complaining about the growl topic; I respect your opinion (I'm just happy you didn't lock the thread!).  I just had some musical ideas about the subject that I thought deserved discussion.  Really, the reason I posted about the subject is that I realized the topic never got anywhere and I wasn't aware of a thread specifically devoted to the subject, so I thought that a focused discussion might yield some interesting ideas on the topic.  Unfortunately though, although some people had some interesting points (I'm not just talking about my own posts, I saw others that actually added to the discussion), no one seems to want to respond to them, so the discussion never gets very far.  Again, I'm not attacking you personally, it's just that the general tendency of the forum hasn't been kind to the discussion so far.  I still like the thread, though, because you can find interesting stuff in there if you're willing to look for it.
