I'm surprised "Yes" is polling that far ahead of "Yes"

What does "yes" mean here?
So you've got an eye?
That don't impress me much

Well, I think this poll is more an example of herd humor,

John really doesn't make much of a scene.

Yes, to read this forum aloud would be quite weird.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

What about the grumpy old men among us? I am not sure if they are happy with this poll ...

That's wrong! Bottom yes is clearly more true! I feel you are lacking
a thorough definition of yes-nes.
To sig or not to sig, that is the question.

I wanted to vote No, it is not desirable. It is mandatory.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).
