While I certainly understand the concept, and I agree it's fun to get a gauge of people's reactions, I think you'll learn more reading the comments than you would with any simple poll..

There's also just that things like that are never so simple- I'm sure that pg has been one of many influences on people. I doubt very many people would go through their life, happily working at their job, read an essay, and drop everything ;)

While pg is persuasive, I would like to think (hope) that anything he writes is one factor among many.

(And again, Please- No polls like this. )
