Re: Stormbinder\'s "Improved" Clams Poll Poll

That's because this is a trinary poll with a missing answer, not a binary poll. So of course it's biased: It is impossible to express the opinion that you firmly believe I am not a crackpot. You can only express that you believe I am, or that you don't have an opinion. The poll includes no means of expressing that you disagree completely with the assertion.
Put me down for 1, BTW.
