It was meant to be a humorous poll, and to gain traffic for Lindsay's site, which it certainly achieved. That's the extent of it. Congrats to Lindsay for a great site, by the way, and for the sterling work that he does.

I'm glad you see that Joanie. Congrats on having a sense of humor and the ability to know when something is meant in jest.
I agree that with a little prodding bonsaiTALK would have walked away from the competition. Just look at the number of members.
Lindsay, whom I do not know, made an intelligent move to include a vote that caused more exposure to the website, no question.
I guess i need to remember that it is difficult to tell when I am joking, especially on the internet. Of course, was I joking?
