Hmmm - really Chatter163? I am of the opinion that too many images detract from the content, others have their own opinions. The reason for the Poll was to get some sort of idea as to what the consensus was. I.e. Should the forums members take up bandwidth welcoming new arrivals (sometimes 3 or 4 times!) or should the forum answer the question posed? Let the Poll decide.

BTW - Chatter163/Dave - have you voted yet?
1) Yes, really.
2) You are entitled to believe that. I myelf do not get too involved in the welcome thing, either. However, this is not the way to go about it, because it is disrespectful.
3) My point is that you know darned well who posts banners most frequently--that is no mystery to anyone here, so your poll seems a very direct and rude way to hurt a certain member's feelings. While her chatty way may not be mine, she is an integral member of this forum, and I resent the way you have trampled over her sensiblities with this thoughtless thread. The fact that she is older than you makes this even more reprehensible.
4) It is a form of bullying to suggest that other members should vote on how someone writes a post. That is her decision--not yours, not mine, and not even for a majority of members to decide. What kind of nonsense is that? Are you paying for the bandwidth on this forum--why are you so worried about that? If you were to tell me how I should write my posts, I would not care if your frivolous poll got 100% response against me, I would tell you to go fly a kite and go right on writing in my own way.
5) Frankly, it is none of your business if I voted or not.
I, for one, hope that you will offer Mrs. M a public apology for your shameful mistreatment of her.
