    Statistics time!

    What you've got here is a voluntary sample giving you a bias. See, if someone dislikes polls, they're going to be less inclined to respond to this poll, or any poll at all. The reverse is also true: if someone likes polls, they will be more likely to respond to this poll, or any poll at all. So, your responses are going to be significantly skewed towards "liking" polls. How much exactly is difficult to determine without a better poll, preferably with a random sample. There are lots of ways to improve the integrity of your results. In fact, there's a whole industry dedicated to doing exactly that,.

    But no matter, this poll will reveal very little information without a whole array of other polls taken with different methods.

    Yeah, reminds me of the IQ poll that was once here (as in, state your IQ). No wonder it made it seem as if ECers moonlighted as rocket scientists.
