Now, did I understood it right from the website but is this really nothing more than a website "'straw poll' with a self-selecting audience"?

The next poll asks readers to consider how long will it take after the 'meltdown' banking crisis for the global economy to recover from any resulting recession? Readers can vote in the left-hand column of the EE Times Europe home page.

A poll on OSnews would be as informative and scientific then?
