Current Poll

OK, I am probably one of the big commenters (whiners?) about "the choices in the poll list don't fit my opinion … why no 'other'?". But this poll is a final round. Why do we have it there? It seems a bit like "my team got knocked out in the first elimination round of the tournament … why aren't they in the finals?". |

I agree about Final Rounds. There is no reason for an "other" category.
Perhaps we need a Poll on this.  In fact I do not see a need for "other" in any polls at all. There is always a Poll Suggestion thread to nominate choices. If Robert E Lee didn't get a nomination for Best American General of all time, then too bad. |

Both of y´all are right. Actually what the poll in question could have used was a "none of the above", or maybe a "mine didn´t make to this round". |

The ones who complain the loudest are the ones with Poll Suggestion turned off.
Gee. That's almost political? Hainna? |

I add it as a joke usually, but I honestly think its not needed.

Actually, for Winston's poll, I vote "other – eliminated in later rounds of multiple elimination polls". :) |

I suggest we change other to "otter" and only allow it to be used if you can find otter images to post with it.
