The Last Whole Earth Poll . . .

I have completed analysis of the "Last Whole Earth Poll" aka the "No More Flyboy Polls" poll results, and I think the results are fairly straightforward.
In answer to the poll question about more Flyboy Polls, a surprisingly large number of BN voters (67%) voted against further polls and agreed that Flyboy is an attention whore who should be banned.
Some voters (14%) thought the polls were educational and some voters (17%) felt that they had nothing to do with Jimmy Buffett, the musician and namesake of the website.
I did note that the only two MODS who posted comments seemed to be against more Flyboy Polls. The following comments illustrate this:
Others pointed out that they had never seen a Flyboy Poll:
In summary, as was pointed out above, I am a man of my word. Henceforth, there shall be no more Flyboy Polls. In other words, this was the LAST WHOLE EARTH FLYBOY POLL. I shall have to complete my ethnographic research by other means, admittedly more difficult, but the task will be completed.
At this juncture, I'd like to thank all those who participated in Flyboy Polls. Without you, the voters, none of this would have been possible.
Thank you!
Good night and good luck.
ps I'm taking my parrot girls out of my sig line - I don't feel like sharing them right now.

Right here, I think the trend has been clearly established. I might note here that when the MODS are against you, there isn't much point in continuing.ragtopW wrote:maybe if we ignore him he will go away..

From these limited comments, I was unable to determine anything other than perhaps that frequent deletions had made Flyboy Polls unavailable to these individuals. I am unable to say whether or not they would be in favor or against more Flyboy Polls, if they had had the chance to see some of them.aeroparrot wrote:Neither have I.
