Nothing wrong with the topic per se. It's possible because of the falloff in original postings after awhile, and your frequent return posts to reply to comments that the provocateurs (like myself) are making, the moderators might decide the whole thread is an attempt by you, with assistance from us, to jack up your post count.
If they wasteland the thing, then your post count gain is lost, likewise if someone politicizes this thing enough to end up in PRSI forum. Posts there are not counted either since not everyone can post in there so it's not fair to count them.
On the idea of more polls: well not everyone who is gay is out, so that seems doomed right there. And male or female, not everyone might wish to reveal gender in a forum like this where there (presumably, or maybe I should say apparently) there are so many more men than women. Because I started working in IT back in the 60s when there were practically no women, I got used to what it can be like even now, so it never occurred to me to use a moniker that would disguise my gender. What I sometimes wonder is how many guys are here using women's names, but that's definitely a different thread so mods please ignore that remark...
Good luck with the the thread, try not to remark on every last post someone puts up here...
