Are the Following People Smart?

Testing a theory posed (here (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=1961215&page=0&view=c ollapsed&sb=5&o=14&vc=1)).

Most names were chosen by me skimming the last few pages of thread starters in OOT and picking the ones I recognized.

I refuse to vote simply because I'm not up there.

[TStoneMBD]

It looks like people pretty much voted as if it were a popularity contest.

Most of the people on that list are smart. The few that aren't are incredibly obvious and should receive 0-1 votes.

[Matty]

Well if you're one of the 6 out of 40 people who got more yes than no votes, congratulations.

Why is Ray Zee absent from the list?

Is the making up of lists and polls a smart thing to do?

[Matty]

The same reason 99% of the 2+2 community is absent. Make your own damn poll. =D

im personally disturbed because i happen to be last.

[ClaytonN]

Albeit like 2 or 3 people, the voting trends are the same in every one.

Are you really trying to judge intelligence by a user's posts in OOT?

[Sponger15SB]

1) Jake's yes #'s are high
2) I'm suprised TSC's yes #'s are so low...sorta
3) I'm suprised MicroBob's yes #'s are so high. Not because I think he is dumb, but because there are plenty of people smarter than him on this board.
4) The fact that Wacki and PatrickDPG aren't on this list makes it completely stupid, as us normal people don't have a good barometer.

Agreed, pretty stupid, but this is somewhat funny i suppose

[MarkL444]

this poll has no merit at all, people are just voting no

[pshreck]

I say thank you to all the people who wanted to vote me as stupid, but voted other because they pity me.

You were wrong to vote other, Im stupid and you know it.

One can tell quite a bit about users based on their posts in OOT.

Just to be a insecure attention hog, the real theory was posted here:

How do you link to a specific post without going into threaded mode? Search through the poster's profile?

[CCass]

At the moment, only a third of the voters think I am not smart, which I guess is good. However, 40% voted other, and I am not sure how to take that.

[theBruiser500]

This poll is wrong, I am smart but the poll says I'm not.

[IndieMatty]

Thank God I am so damn good looking.

Click on flat mode, highlight the url, and press cntrl-C.

[ThaSaltCracka]

I voted no for everyone, you fuckers.

[Matty]

[/ QUOTE ]So there's no simpler way than going into threaded mode, hunting down the post, then going back to flat mode to get the url? These boards suck.

[wacki]

Grey, come on man, there are like 10 different ways. Think!

In flat mode there is an Re: XXXXXX above each post. Find the post you want, click on a Re to that post then follow my instructions. Or use the search function.

Also, above the post there is a number. In the url of the browser you will see Cat=&Number=1964630.....

Just switch out the numbers.

Maybe some of those who voted "other" just aren't all that familiar with your name or your posts--perhaps in some cases because they spend most of their time on another forum;-)

There are a lot of names I recognize (like all of them, I think /images/graemlins/tongue.gif) but that doesn't mean they all stand out in my mind one way or the other.

Of course this whole thread could just be a trick to see who was dumb enough to vote on all those names, too...

Ya, it's real easy to find out who voted for who.

Holy crap, I never knew I was that dumb.
