The average Ironworker

Legolas · 03-22-2002, 08:10 PM

A little multi-question poll to see what the average Ironworker is like

Legolas · 03-24-2002, 05:40 PM

The tally so far (15 votes, just question 1):

910 Ironworkers don't think of themselves as insane at all.

1400 Ironworkers believe they are slightly below average when it comes to insanity.

1400 Ironworkers believe they are slightly more sane than the 1400 above.

1400 Ironworkers know themselves rather well and state that they are slightly more insane than the average person out on the street.

1890 Ironworkers know they are amongst the top 1900 most insane people in the world.

Yay!

With 23 votes (out of 7000) I am beginning to see a shocking development...

2450 posters don't know what flood control is, whereas 2100 only encounter it about once a month, if not less. The other half of the posters are regular visitors to that FYI page, except for the 910 who are only bothered by the flood control during the holiday season...

FYI, flood control or FC means you can't post more than one reply per xx seconds, where xx is the number of seconds you cannot post a reply after the last reply you've posted.

Also, 280 posters have never seen a toothbrush before. Good thing everyone's miles apart from one another...

Well, actually, I think this an artifact of the options in the question. Now I never encounter flood control, because I don't ever post that often. But there was no option that corresponded to that, eg "it doesn't bother me because I never post that much", so I was forced to put one of the other options, which may actually have been what's flood control, even though I actually do know what it is [img]tongue.gif[/img]

So, assuming you are one of the voters, that's 304 Ironworkers being aware of the presence of FC but never truely encountering it...

But that still leaves 2146 [img]smile.gif[/img]

You must've been one of those who voted No (truth) to the spamming one then.
Well, it just goes to show that Old Coots and hispeed-posting don't go together [img]smile.gif[/img]
