ha ha...
I'm seriosly rethinking my vote on the "to many polls" qestion.
Perhaps you should have included "other" in this one, just for fun.
Hell what are all the martians out there going to select?

Interesting to note that this poll just demonstrates that we need to do a better job in attracting more woman into the sport. As far as message boards go, there may be more men on this one(and one that I moderate on) but it is the women who attract the men to it in the first place. And it is the women who give it its edge and also a sense of decorum.
Plus who else are we going to flirt with?

| 90% male so far. About what I suspected. Does anyone know the actual percent of female riders in the U.S? |

Bad logic assuming that because 90 percent of the voters are male, that 90% of the members are male.
I assume that women are smarter than us males and just don't bother voting on an inane poll !
The problem with all polls are that you really don't know why someone votes, why they vote the way they do, or if they really believe the way they voted. For all we know, some females voted as male, or maybe the 10% female vote is really only 1% female and the other 9% is actually "other". |

It's not like we're electing a president here. Wheteher the true percentage is 5% or 15% is not really a big deal. All the data I've seen so far looks pretty reasonable.
You've insulted at least 110 people by insinuating that anyone who votes in a poll is not smart. The board may need a "cynicism" score rather than a karma score. |
