"I do many centuries, and I want to tell everyone about it - even if anonymously," as opposed to "I have never done a century and likely never will," which is not much of an ego builder, and the person may not even respond.
Therefore, while interesting, most INet polls are pretty worthless as far as being able to generalize to the larger population. JMHO.
