Does removing anomimity influence polls?

Anonymity? Okay, now I get it, for a minute I thought this poll was about botched vasectomies. No wonder people were reluctant to vote and chat about it.

If you are missing your anomity you still have your imagination to fall back on. Remember when? Anybody have pictures of theirs. We keep mine in the family album. It helps the collective memory and settles lots of arguments. Unlike the big one that got away.

Is this an Aflac poll? Ducks aren't born (er hatched) with anomities, are they?

Tim,

While we're subject of anatomy, how is it you'd ask us a question you yourself weren't willing to answer???

Cat,

That is why the topic of the poll was not "income poll." I wanted to make it clear that a public poll would reveal your votes on a personal issue and you should be careful in polls you participate in now. The merit of the public poll is that you can see who makes BS votes. The unfortunate side is that you could reveal too much of your personal information.

So, this was more of an exercise in reading comprehension and my spelling deficiencies than a real poll regarding income. Be careful that you understand when you vote in a poll on the forum now.

Oh I knew. This one gave me the opportunity to mess with your theory is all. In fact, you're still not sure if we're telling the truth, now are you? Wasn't the real Van Guy such a grandstander that he'd come out and tell you 'I made over $500,000 last year!'.

Sorry Daff. Gotta taunt you on this one. Honestly, I think the public poll thing will destroy your results in many cases.
