I guess, it'll be okay.

I don't mind some break in the floods.

I believe he is not posting because I disabled the WYSIWYG post editor for the forum due to all the script members were getting in their posts and due to complaints/ concerns. Not having it does his make style of list-making more challenging and requires some learning and/or adaptation. I had hoped the issue would be fixed by now. I want to leave it up to M@x or others to enable it when they think/know the time is right.

That's right. I'm just patiently biding my time until the WYSIWYG post editor is enabled again, then I'll be back with more polls, but it's nice to be missed.

Is Paul OK?

He hasn't been posting much at all lately.

I'm really missing his polls!

The trouble is, the electorate is rather small.  I reckon you are lucky if you get more than 20 responses to any one poll.  

Polls aren't just for strippers and cross country skiers, so here's the latest update of currently running polls:-

Just thought you might be entertained to see them -- not that it is entertaining, but thought we maybe could have some fun with it if coming up with some silly ones of our own. Not something I'd expect of you as I said. If I did one now or as a series I'd rather do one that is simply called "Electronic" as a very broad category. I like a huge variety of electronic music, progressive and otherwise. I likely will wait until after you do your poll (I like it when topics reinforce each other in a way by having related ones) and would avoid covering the same names.

I probably would like to do many of my usual suspects like:

Aphex Twin - drukqs (2001)
Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children (1998)
Björk - Homogenic (1997)
Coil - The Ape of Naples (2008)
Depeche Mode - Violator (1990)
Time Hecker - Virgins (2013)
Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine (1978)
Portishead - Third (2008)
Radiohead - Kid A (2000)
Stereolab - Dots and Loops (1997)
Sufan Stevens - The Age of Adz (2010)

Won't bore you with more as this is not really your stuff. Just using this thread about you and your polls to think aloud, sorry. On the other hand, I have covered such things so many times and it does get stale. I might started using RYM and making those list there (only thing is I like interaction with people if sharing lists).

Anyway, back on topic which is about your list and news of what to expect from Paul. :)
