All polls should either be educational or funny. True or false. |

True: Educational or Funny. I'd even accept Educational AND Funny. |
| Stryderg | 15 Feb 2018 8:55 p.m. PST |
False. They may also satisfy the pollster's curiosity, no matter how pointless it seems to everyone else. You don't have to respond, or even read them. Although, funny is a plus |

You were supposed to ask who defines "educational" and "funny". |

I suppose we're not going to worry about identically distributed random samples of size 1024 or greater, right? Therefore, the answer is false for polls conducted on days not ending in Y. |

What difference does it make after all these years? |

All and none of the above. :) |

Maybe there should be regular (annual?) re-runs of significant/useful polls. It seems to me that the pursuit of the new leads to some rather silly subjects? |

All polls should relate to military or modelling subjects only. Yet to see one which is funny, only tragic. |

True but keep them to wargaming & history. I dislike polls of "your favorite song of..(fill in the blank with obscure band name)) |
| jeffreyw3 | 16 Feb 2018 4:15 a.m. PST |
Paul, I'm guessing the "favorite movie" polls fall under the "Funny" category? |

True … a little humor is good and of course educational is always a good thing … |

Polls, like everything on TMP, can be taken or left.
So I'm with MajorB. |

All polls should either be educational or funny.
This should reduce the number of polls by around 99% then. |
