Do You Vote When You See an OzBargain Poll?

I just read a comment from scotty where he highlights the pointlessness of a particular poll: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/330147#comment-5083648.

I've always said that telephone polls are pointless because they only capture the opinions of people willing to stay on the line. The fact you'd take the time to answer a random phone call probably has its own correlations.

Personally, on OzBargain I'm more of a commenter than a voter.

But the important question is:
Would YOU ever vote on an OzBargain poll?

    Aren't the people who click on No above self-contradictory?

    People vote because it is easier than comment. It's a matter of between clicking on a button or writing out a sentence. This poll however is again a bit pointless — people who voted "no" above obviously lied :)

    Shouldn't this post also be pointless then?
