I almost editted this poll submission to have the choices be 'No' and 'Yes'. But I figured it'd be almost more fun to leave them alone.

Not really a topical poll, but I like meta-discussions and I had no other polls in the queue...

we should setup a poll to see who is running Xgl and compiz with xorg 7.0 from experimental or something. (=
i am not sure how many debian user is running it at this time, but i bet there are few

if you like meta-discussions, recently i noticed one funny/interesting -- "how many windows you have currently open?" -- maybe put it into the queue? :)

I almost created them as Yes and No.

But - you can't answer no - without answering?

I didn't expect to see the poll go live actually :)

I've done that before though in other places - creating polls like "I ignore polls: [True/False]".

I posted it because I get very very very few poll submissions, and a fair amount of the ones I do get are not really suitable.

99% of the time when I post a poll myself somebody will complain about a missing option, or want to select multiple choices. I'm just not good at thinking them up...

Anyway it looks like this has prompted a lot more submissions so it isn't a bad thing :)

I wasn't going to complain about a missing option until you said that. In fact there really is a strong case for a third option. There must be at least three ways of saying yes.

Is this fun form of statistical research if order does affect poll results?
