ROTFLMAO!! Absolutely hilarious. This pretty much sums up the forums.Of course you forgot a few:
1 newbie to start a poll asking whats your favorite lightbulb.
4 charter members to yell at him about how polls aren't allowed.
1 to say that Nels disabled the poll feature
3 more to say that he didn't disable it, it's just against the rules.
6 more to say yeah what they said.
