When these polls first started here a few years ago, I was one of the supporters. Now I wonder what the point is, if ever there was a point.

Bradd: 1) You don't need to participate. 2) We had a lot of participants in 2004, so I figured people liked having them. 3) I wonder why you're asking about them now. 4) I think they are fun – just to see how well a small, unscientific sample does compared to professional polls.

Most of all, Bradd, I recall a long time ago when a question was posted about people's favorite movies. I responded that I couldn't really answer that because there were all kinds of criteria. Thereupon, you, Bradd, told me to "lighten up" because, after all, the question was just for fun. You were quite outspoken, as I recall, about my apparent inability to regard that informal poll in the spirit of fun in which it was intended. Granted, electing a President is a more serious matter, but what harm does an informal poll on an obscure site do? It's not about to get coverage in the press and TV.
