    Default Old Polls

    Can we close some of the old polls? Newbies seem to have the need to vote for every poll which brings the poll up to the top without a new post.

    Thanks

    P


    On second thoughts, why not just summarise them as a final post and close the thread?

    So when is a newly erected pole not a post? Or is it just getting the top of the poll up the pole and calling it a new post, when in reality it's an old post, and the pole should be pole axed and turned into a vase or something. Perhaps we should take a straw poll on this, and see if the old polls need pulverising and recycled, maybe into posts or something.
    Boring signature time again!

    It is annoying, isn't it? Like we care what these people think

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    It all sounded like reverse 'polish' notation to me.

    That takes me back a bit Cliff. I got my first ever HP calculator 25 years ago and HP calcs are all reverse polish notation. Took a bit of geting used to but now i find ordinary calcs difficult to use,
    I still have that same calculator and use it almost every day,,great machine.

    Just spent 30 minutes in the poll forum and only managed to close down 8 polls in that time.

    I really have got better things to do with my time than this.

    In future when you start a poll put a close down date in there of 3 or 4 weeks or whatever you feel is fair, this way maybe we won't need to manually close them down.

    Definitely got better things to do with my time.
