If Russ is trying to find out what the annual income of the fully retired people of TV is, this is not the poll. If that is what Russ is after he should make it clear as to what he wants so that only the fully retired members respond.

If this is not what he wants, why the poll? We already have those inflated numbers.

I was going to say something quite similar -- in a much more diplomatic, friendly, and understanding manner, of course ---- not being critical, Z. Homey don't do that stuff. ---- As I and others have pointed out innumerable times (tho thy likely are numerable, but who cares) with our mixture of homeowners here in TV, it is impossible to get meaningful estimates re income. But we've beaten that to death, even without a decent card room to which we can retire.

As to why the poll, why not. Many people seem to be enjoying the poll and the jawboning. As our old friend Lazarus Long described religion: " . . . like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it." What's the harm and it's likely keeping some of us out of trouble.
