Motive/Purpose Poll

Friends, even in cyberspace, don't practice deception and/or subterfuge with friends.

Bad poll, Bobby.

Considering your negative attitude toward word games, that option is certainly not
"friendly." Discord and fighting for any reason are far from "friendly."

What's left? Posters who entertain and agree with you.

Red Night sent him a fruit cake with a hacksaw inside. We're breaking out tonight.
Pass it on.

Yes, how did you guess? I'm doing 25 to life for murdering a teenager.

Won't work. I need another hacksaw to cut the cake.

You are a creepy old man.

Maybe. But you're a creepy kid, and you're just getting started.

Just imagine how weird and disgusting you'll be when you're my age.

Your third option is based on whom?

"All four options are "friendly" if the responses reflect a measure of accuracy and honesty.

Of course, no one. The third option's provided as a 3-Sigma possibility for those rare few
individuals with the honesty and courage to require it in the context described above.

As always, Andy, I respect your freedom to form and express an opinion.

Edit: Would you care to comment on your primary reason for visiting this public forum?

Reason for including word games is because they've accounted for 10.9 posts per day of the total 30.4 per day during the thirty day period August 29 to September 27, 2013. "Discord and fighting for any reason are far from "friendly." Agree. Why include the option? Were you around here yesterday? If you were you'd realize the option is essential to the poll profile.

One of the statistics that your analysis lacks is the average number of words per post during
the time period August 29 to September 27, 2013. Could you provide this important number,
as well as a comparison with the same time period in 2012?

These important figures would put the dying-forum model into better perspective.

If you feel strongly that these computations are essential to confirming or adjusting
the gradually declining trend, perhaps Ponderable could help you in this regard.

Note: Another successful "Wheelbarrow" type thread from you might help the cause.

But it's your hypothesis, Bobby, not mine. Are you afraid of a little work?

It's a simple poll. Decline is apparent. Time spent on the needless analysis you suggest would be far better spent contributing to this site centerpiece forum. When is the last time that you gave birth to a thread of your own?

When was the last time, Bobby.

Do you call this nonsense giving birth?
