I use NoScript and enable JavaScript only on sites that it's needed or actually helpful. It's partly a security measure and partly to make sites load quicker on a slow connection by avoiding a bunch of analytics and other bits that do nothing useful for me. After an initial breaking in period of whitelisting common sites, I rarely even notice the difference.<p>Also, I like your method of making a "poll" by commenting with the answers, so you get karma for every "vote" cast. I'd accuse you of being a karma whore, but your join data and karma pretty clearly prove otherwise, so I'll just call it a clever hack and leave it at that.
