And now for something a little less serious...
When you decide to respond to a poll on PA which of the two choices do you do first? Do you submit typed words or do you make a little green dot appear and click vote?

Good poll  I vote, then I reply. Did the same right now. Any other order would have been wrong I think... BTW after I vote usually I have to refresh the page because the thread won't show up, just the poll results. Is anyone else having the same issue? |

How odd - I always vote first, but having read your post I feel compelled to reply before voting and then vote vote to maintain the balance and ensure teh world continues to spin on its axis. ------------- What? |

That shows up fine, but then it'll only load the poll part of the page. Sometimes something similar happens when I choose not to go to my inbox when I get a PM. |

I scroll down and read the replies of others. Then if I am going to reply I reply, then if I am going to vote I vote. I always (well nearly always) reply first just in case I change my mind while I am writing my reply.
Now I'm going to vote. ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

Same, and not because of any technical difficulties, aside from technical cranial difficulties. I usually reply first, and rarely vote without replying. And sometimes writing a post helps me to decide how to vote. I'm not as interested in the poll results as I am in the comments/ discussion. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

I vote and then reply. The reason why is that if I reply and then vote, and then refresh the page, the box telling me thank you for voting appears again. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

It depends for me - I can't say I always do one or the other first.

Isn't it odd how being consistently inconsistent can actually be a form of consistency in and of itself? ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I admit, replying first does give the opportunity to forget to actually vote. I've done that more than once.
