Yes. Stevo may Win At The Internet, but he has no future at all as a professional pollster.

No. The polls were all necessary and you're just being a jerk, as usual, DAR!

Actually, I find it more disturbing that you bothered to count.

Re: Stevo Darkly Has Now Posted Six Separate Polls About a Chica

Geez, now I'm gonna start worrying about that, too!

EDIT: Lest anyone (especially Stevo, himself) misunderstand, the poll is supposed to be goofy and is not to be taken seriously.

Organization is obviously not his strong point.

While true, it is especially difficult to organize those who seem to be averse to organization. I think this experience also says something about the ease of trying to herd libertarians, or get them to commit to a decision, or make suggestions in a timely manner rather than a post-timely manner.

You don't need to tell me about it. I gave up trying to plan a national gathering a looong time ago. It's just not worth all the fretting. It wouldn't even be that difficult if people just gave their feedback, but at the same time, everyone has different schedules and different things going on, so I realized that it's unrealistic to expect everyone to drop everything and save their money towards a nationwide gryllicon, especially since each of us is usually amidst several ongoing flame wars with any number of other commenters at any given time. In fact, not meeting may be advisable, because who knows what would happen if we all met in person and actually liked each other? How could we possibly sustain an acceptable level of flaming that way? There's no way.
