"Dude",
I may think you're an asshole too, but I'm not going to start casting insults at you (like you just did at me) as that would be a violation of forum guidelines. Can I assume you weren't joking now because you didn't include any emoticons this time (or that just because you included emoticons before you can post anything you want and it won't betray what you're really thinking and I shouldn't find it insulting)?
OF COURSE, I understand these polls are mainly for fun and certainly are NOT of professional quality. Duh, that is why I began my whole post with the qualifier "For whatever it is worth and bearing in mind the highly unscientific nature of these polls ..." That doesn't mean the poll results are
100% invalid as you maintain. It doesn't mean that 100% of the polls posted are done JUST as some sort of joke or that many if not most of those who start those more serious polls don't hope to at least get some idea of how things break down even if the non-scientific nature of the poll limit their reliability.
And, even if you really believe the margin of error on these polls is 100% (that's your right), it doesn't mean other guys don't have the right to take away from the polls whatever they believe they can or have their "fun" with the polls the way THEY choose to.
I felt that the different results derived from essentially the same target population asking essentially the same question while probably not scientifically definitive was at least somewhat supportive of the proposition that mongers are getting younger. Or at least that mongers who belong to CRT and respond to polls are. And even if it WASN'T,
I thought it was interesting. I don't find all your so-called jokes funny or all of your posts interesting, or those of other members for that matter, but I don't mock you for making them or call into question your posting style.
BTW, I have no problem at all saying "I don't know" WHEN I don't know, or better yet not saying anything AT ALL at those times (which is probably what you should have done). However, what you still haven't been able to figure out was that was NOT what I was saying in that particular post. All I was doing was offering ACTUAL LINKS to similar past polls, offering the ACTUAL results of those polls (I didn't make any of that up), offering my own OPINION based on that information and leaving it to everyone else to evaluate for themselves what sort of relevance to attach to the comparative results. You could have added to the commentary, disagreed with it or simply ignored it if you saw so little value in it. Instead, you chose to mock me personally.
Oh yeah ...

:lol::P:lol::P just so you know there wasn't anything personal about what I just wrote
