I expected the same thing.. Surprising that it hasn't gone that way yet.

On an automotive forum that I frequent (not for high end cars) they did a "What is your family income" poll. The top category was over $200k. Surprisingly, that skewed heavily to that side.

Sorry to all you 50+ guys/gals...I actually have been searching for a way to edit the poll to include your age bracket but can't seem to be able to do it this long after the post. I was thinking of 40-50 & 50+.

Can the mods here help me?

If they can edit the poll.... then please fix ALL the problems with it.
Like I mentioned earlier... you have two choices for age 30, and two choices for age 40.

I am 30 and chose 20-30 because, well, it makes me feel younger.

I use it on a BES, but I really enjoy having the camera to take pictures of my son. I enjoy having the BB reliability and having a little fun with it too.

Dude, surely you can get around those difficult issues.

I give members here benefit of the doubt to be smart enough to find their place in this...

I mean...we're not splitting atoms here.

Norseman · 07-25-2007, 09:36 PM

ok, I have edited your poll, and added the new categories and fixed the age brackets on all. I added two votes for 50+, but I cannot physically remove those two users (dreamrider and california) from the 40-49 bracket, so their names remain there, but their votes are cast in the 50+ bracket.

Keep voting!

Thanks, JS! The crowd was getting hostile...lol.

OK, first of all, I was trying to help you out by pointing out the fact that you made two errors in your poll choices. No need to get all defensive.
Obviously, you want somewhat accurate results, otherwise you wouldn't have posted this poll in the first place.

Secondly... there's nothing to "get around". You had two choices for age 30 and two choices for age 40.
If someone is 30 years old... do they post in the 20-30 category, or the 30-40 category? Both would be correct. Understand?

JSanders was kind enough to fix your mistakes for you.

Not defensive at all...just kidding, for the most part. I just didn't, and don't see it as such a big deal. I mean...why post a critical post? This wasn't supposed to be some huge scientific, deadly-accurate deal...just for fun and totally out of curiousity on my part. I guess I was shocked that some, like you, took it so seriously that it required modification.

penguin3107 · 07-26-2007, 08:47 AM

I've been posting here for a while, and those who know me are used to me being overly critical of polls. Don't take it personally.

I hate polls... just about all of them.
