No, genius... but 80% of the people do think there's a better than 80% chance that it's him. That means they're all believers. People will always leave a little room for doubt if they're given that option. I would have rather the new poll simply stated "do you believe it's him, yes or no".

There are a million ways to do a poll. I felt this would be more accurate. For most of us, as I am certain the poll will show (and you will begrudgingly have to concede to), it's not black or white. You don't have to agree, but the poll will inevitably show it's not what you would like it to be and profess it to be (which is everyone agreeing it's 100%). (at least not yet)

That was my whole point, wasn't it good enough for you that the majority of people were convinced that it might be him? You were saying how if you weren't 100% sure then you were brain-dead. I guess you softened your stance a little finally.

I voted and can we also start a poll on how many of the posts in that thread could have been avoided by some "adult behavior"? I would vote about 50%....give or take.

I would like to hear from those that are less than 90%. What at this point is keeping you from feeling stronger that it is Joe?

Paul and I both agree that if you think the newspaper photo and T202 panel were taken at the same time that it must be Joe. Do you disagree with this? Do you have doubts about the two photos being taken at the same time?

As I've become more comfortable with my position I would like to hear more from the other side.

90-99 percent here. I am curious as to the rationale of folks who felt it was less than 50 percent, if they care to share -- are we missing something?

[Tcards-Please]

50%??? I would love to hear the rationale from the person that says 0%. Even if you are skeptical, what is the reasoning behind a "NO WAY" call? Is the person that said no way, the person that took the picture or a spectator that day

I would find it really hard to give a flat out 0% chance. Just my opinion.

well I voted w/o reading the other thread... whoops! Now that I have read the entire thread, I'd vote in the 80% range. Good stuff!

Let me clear one thing up. I voted 91-99% on JJ being JJ. My vote of 50% was on my declaration of a fictitious poll on avoided posts on the JJ thread
It was great work except the non adult behavior...
