Just like I'm tempted to start a poll asking whether there should be a
disclaimer on all polls similar to slashdot:

* Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do
multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
* This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers,
dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything
important, you're insane.

How about a poll like this:

Are LUGNET polls generally flawed, scientifically unsound, more likely to
annoy others than come up with serious answers, and usually have at least
one obvious omission?

[ ] No
