Is it just me? There is a questionnaire on the front page of Ouch. I have ignored it a couple of times, but it wore me down, so I agreed to take part.
The first question asks how old I am. Harmless enough, or not? I wanted to ignore it, but it will not let me go past.
So I have not answered the questionnaire after all.
I could, of course, just say I was under 16 and get on with the rest of the thing. But my conscience will not allow me to do that.
Am I being silly?

It keeps harassing me. Have you got 5 minutes?

I filled it in once. I don't want to do it again. Even when I click 'No' and 'X' it still pops back up to annoy me.

I just click no until it goes away (eventually) .
I try not to fill these type of things in anymore.
Id love there to be a tick box where I could put *yes please* when the ask the immortal question sex ?

They will be expecting you to watch the BBC ! I do the same as you avoid the front page... when I get a choice as whether I pay to watch them or not, I might be inclined to have a look... at present I pay 130 quid to keep them off my back.... or they threaten me....it's a form of demanding money with menace really...

But that's why Ouch's statistics show that 80% of visitors to the site are not disabled! Non-disableds fill in the form but we (usually) don't.This is a reply to this message.

message 8 raises a perpetual difficulty with any non-mori-compliant polling, that of self selected and atypical responders
I don't care if temporarily able bodied people inform themselves by reading Ouch. The more education the better.
But as you say, there is no reason to supppose the responders are typical, or even truthful ( untruth can be fairly innocent, e.g. I know of some who choose a pet number, say 7, then use it to fill in forms e.g. D.O.Birth 7.7.77)This is a reply to this message.

So should we ask/campaign/beg the Ouch office to stop doing the poll thing.
I do remember a long discussion where the office were using the results of one of these polls to contradict someone. And they did not understand why people were getting annoyed about it.This is a reply to this message.
