a request, nae a plea

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Voted "Yes", still on 46%

I see what you mean about the badly-worded question. :urff:

Well, I voted - but I wonder how much of the lead for the No side is from a badly written question?

Give 'em a written stabbin', sir!

I've seen online polls deliberately skewed before, they always go 99.9% one way or another (unless they get millions of votes)
