My answer is no; I always get a kick out of these polls.

However, I am tired of "top ten" polls; no competition involved.

Polls, lists...I never tire of the nonsense.

he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Exactly. Whenever I make a Top 10 anything, I have to whittle it down from 300. Makes my head hurt  :D

At least a "Top 11" poll would be a novelty for a few days.  Then again, with all the "honorable mention" and "Next Top 10" offerings, let's forget it.

Are you sure it's "two"?

No, sadly there are more, but those two are the kings of "more than ten".

The question is, can we come up with more than ten people who post more than ten things?

I usually go under or over on the top 10, I just post whatever I feel like! :P

I restrained myself on the recent top 11 thread, I wanted to add Brahms, Verdi, Ligeti and Faure's requiem.

The polls that I like the least are the ones that you have to scroll through dozens of options.  I'm glad they went away.

Not tired at all. Nobody has to join in if they don't want to.

I almost forgot about this poll I started.

A majority are tired of vs. polls, so I'll likely initiate another one very soon.
