Polling

There are often subjects or events in Scuttlebutt that divide the crowd, and we hear about it from the letters sent to the editor. Differing oppinions from folks of various backgrounds, often providing thought-provoking comments. We frequently can not include in Scuttlebutt all the email we receive, so the Forums section was created to open up the dialogue even further, and remove any restraints there were on the inclusion of submissions.

However, we know Scuttlebutt readers don't always have time to write out their thoughts, which is why the polling is so cool. By voting in a Scuttlebutt Poll, you are stating your postion. Interestingly, trends are usually set very soon in the polls, and while the number of votes increases, the trends typically stay constant.

We know it is not science, but it is another way that we can all become participants in the sport of sailing. Feel free to email me anytime you have an idea for a Scuttlebutt Poll. - Craig Leweck
