We have had polls about practically everything. Who was going to pass Don Bright in number of posts. Is torture justified. The gamut has been run. Everything imaginable seems to have a poll associated with it lately.
If it were up to the members of ET, the world would have all the answers. We would know what religions are good and bad. What politicians should be running things. If Max should be in a straightjacket. If Vinny should stay or go.
So from the most important to the most trivial, our polls would have all the answers.
Seeing "Brother" Candles latest poll, about whether it should be mandatory, optional, or whatever to address each other as "Brother" or Brethren" has gotten me to thinking......
Maybe we need a new layout on the home page. A listing of top pollsters....right there beside the list of who has contributed the most posts (a rough thing to quantify...how does an eloquent essay by Darkhorse count exactly as much as a simple "LOL" from GordonGekko?......Anyway, the question occurred to me...perhaps Candle should get some recognition for having created the most polls. Or has he? Maybe this is just a recent kick and I am not aware of previous Gallup and Harris wannabes.
And if some new young gun comes along and tries to de-throne Candle (or whoever the true reigning champ is (ala Nitro knocking off the once seemingly invincible Don B., and defying the morning line favorite to do it, Chasinfla), then this "Brother" should too get recognition.
So I submit, my Brethren, that we have a poll on the pollsters. Should they be recognized? Given some special title (wasn't there a poll on even this once not so long ago regarding number of posts....Super Elite or something like that?)
So, my Brothers (and Sisters of course), what say we?
Vote early. Vote often (yeah, FPC and PUBLIAS)..."often" is meaningful, and very effective. Kept Richard Daley in the mayor's office forever in Chicago. "Gonzo" politics?
