Default Multiple votes poll test

Hi all,

This is a test post to determine if people can submit multiple votes in the same poll.

If you vote in this poll, I would appreciate it if you would also post a reply as well. Even if the reply is just "hi" or "voted for X" or something similar that would give me an idea of the number of "true" votes versus multi-votes.

If you are able to vote more than once in this poll, I would also appreciate it if you could post a brief description of how you did so. For example, "I have dial-up, I voted, disconnected, reconnected and was able to vote again." Or, "I voted from work, then was able to vote again from home."

Thanks for your help,
pb

Hi, voted for #5, changed proxy and I was able to vote again for #5. The 2
votes are both mine.
Should't be (I will not) doing this for actual polls. Just testing.

Hi all,

Thanks for helping with the test.

If you really care, the "correct" answer is most likely #1 (possibly #5... um...). Woodchucks don't really have a thing to do with wood.

There was apparently a study which showed that a woodchuck (marmot, groundhog, whatever) digs out enough ground to be the equivalent of roughly 361.9237001 cm^3 of wood per day (I don't do these studies, I just reports 'em people).

A "cord" of wood is defined as a tightly stacked pile of wood which measures 4' high x 4' wide x 8' long and should contain roughly 25% air by volume. So, that translates into ~0.05 "cords" of wood per year after air volume is removed.

So there you go people.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think how people answer says a lot about their personalities. Personally, I picked number 2 because I am a mathematical person, and love math.

P.S. Just posting to try out "Quote" posts for the first time. Don't bother answering unless you want to.
