Guys, don't rely upon the polls this weekend. The vote tallies are way up and that implies that the results are likely to be aberrated. I also can't rule out someone trying to "game" the site or polls. As such, I've required registration in order to vote. I hate to do that, but the whole point is to have good, useful results, not useless tripe. Far better to have a consistent sample than an only modestly statistically significant sample, subject to manipulation. Do, if you haven't registered, please do so. We WON'T spam you. EVER. You may not ever hear from us after your registration, save in the even of major site news. Mark

Hi Mark, Thought you always had to be registered to vote... And, maybe I remember this wrong, but at one time, wasn't registration required to read posts? Not that it matters now... Just thinking out loud here... Perhaps you can add a 2nd poll, identifying it the same poll but for registered users only, and see what happens. I'm guessing registered users would vote again if you have reason to believe the current poll data might be suspect. And thanks for posting the T-4 stuff; I always enjoy hearing your take on sentiment and seeing these indicators.
