very happy with the change to not include "abstain" in the percentages, as well as "other" these two options can be choose by those that want to voice a different option then one given in the poll, thus don't directly count to the topic at hand.
further more abstain and other can no longer be used to render a poll meaningless, now it's more like the real world, pick a side and get counted, or don't pick a side and don't get counted. polls should be based on those willing to pick a side, not those that sit on the sidelines and can't pick.
"other" shouldn't be counted, you can pick yes or no but still offer input that would in give your thoughts as to what might need to be changed or edited with the over-all idea.
if you choose either "abstain or other", offer your thoughts in a post, but now since abstain and other no longer can destroy a polls following, be our guest and choose other or abstain, we'll know you read it, and couldn't choose either way, those of us that vote yes or no, or choose another option that isn't "abstain or other" will have a voice that can and should be counted.
i'm very thankful that this has been done because now there's a valid count on real options to a poll, without impact from those that didn't want to pick a side and stand behind it. indecision leads us nowhere.
talk (i belive i've spoken all that i need to on this thread, but i'll continue to read new posts)
