And while I'm thinking about it, since this was my area of study, a poll is only significant with a correct sample size but most importantly, a random sample. Any polls or surveys that have voluntary participation have no statistical significance to the population at large, though they may be interesting or useful in other ways. Also, a survey, poll, random poll...all have different interpretations. Of course, with surveys here on TPA there is no goal to represent the larger population...it is a voluntary vote which serves its purpose. Just don't confuse it with statistically significant.
