I just vote, and post my comment, if any. I then participate in the discussion.Rarely, if ever, do I follow it to its conclusion to see what the final totals are. In fact, I cannot remember if I ever did check it out on its conclusion!
And, this even includes polls that *I* have suggested.

I like to participate, but ignore the results.

What the heck would you follow one for? They are utterly meaningless.

Allen, I think I once posted a question if any manufacturrs actually followed poll results.

Richard196720 Sep 2009 10:54 a.m. PST

is this a poll?

Cosmic Reset20 Sep 2009 11:05 a.m. PST

Sometimes.

CPBelt20 Sep 2009 11:08 a.m. PST

Meaningless!?! Sir, my polls are not meaningless. wink They can be fun.

Yeah, I tend to follow them if I'm interested in the topic, or if there aren't any good football games on local TV, such as today.

Parmenion20 Sep 2009 11:27 a.m. PST

Nah, I occasionally vote but never check back.

Sterling Moose20 Sep 2009 11:52 a.m. PST

Never.

Martin Rapier20 Sep 2009 11:57 a.m. PST

Like John, I vote, weigh in with my opinion, then forget about it.

I've usually taken part in the original thread which got the poll going in the first place, so it is an easy way to keep my post count up without too much mental effort, as the same arguments are trotted out again.

I don't vote in many of the polls but about once every 2 months I go and check poll results.

It's like throwing a ham sandwich in the middle of bunch of fat girls. Launch and set back and watch the fur fly.

It depends on the poll. If I vote on a lot of polls that I dont think will change much from the time I vote until their end I dont check back.

Syrinx020 Sep 2009 12:59 p.m. PST

Every now and then. Usually by the time I vote the direction of the poll is obvious.

GoodBye20 Sep 2009 2:13 p.m. PST

No, in fact I usually don't follow a thread after it's left the front page.

" They are utterly meaningless."
So! The good Allen is an existentialist. That explains much.

nazrat20 Sep 2009 3:02 p.m. PST

Sometimes I do out of simple curiosity, though most times I simply forget about it after I vote.

tiger g20 Sep 2009 4:37 p.m. PST

no

Neotacha20 Sep 2009 5:55 p.m. PST

Occasionally. Not often.

What's a Poll?

richarDISNEY21 Sep 2009 8:05 a.m. PST

Sometimes.

But if its a Poll I started, then I follow it all the way to the end.

I just wait until the poll topic comes up again and then check to see that the new result is completely different than the one the year before.
