#2Alex, polls are lame on Reddit. They're even lamer here since there's no down arrow. Please use Pollground or something similar.

He could also use a comment, and then it wouldn't be quite as lame.

#4I do have to agree with dfranke.
While I certainly understand the concept, and I agree it's fun to get a gauge of people's reactions, I think you'll learn more reading the comments than you would with any simple poll..
There's also just that things like that are never so simple- I'm sure that pg has been one of many influences on people. I doubt very many people would go through their life, happily working at their job, read an essay, and drop everything ;)
While pg is persuasive, I would like to think (hope) that anything he writes is one factor among many.
(And again, Please- No polls like this. )

Well actually the point was to try to start an interesting discussion and get people sharing stories, but I see your point.

You may already know this, but unlike reddit, comment scores here affect karma.
One decent approach is to create two comments with instructions to vote one up and the other down, so you stay karma-neutral. So you need a total of 1+2n comments for a poll with n options. Like so:
Do you think this is a good idea?
(Vote this like you would an ordinary comment)
