I was just reading through the comments on the poll, and there are some really intelligent, cool comments in there, both pro and against us. Still, the sell-out argument is something that's been part of punk forever, and it's not going away, so definitely take a look if you have a chance. Update: I don't want to comment on the poll directly, but I'll post this quote, which sums up my feelings:
Homer: So, I realized that being with my family is more important than being cool. Bart: Dad, what you just said was powerfully uncool. Homer: You know what the song says: "It's hip to be square". Lisa: That song is so lame. Homer: So lame that it's… cool? Bart+Lisa: No. Marge: Am I cool, kids? Bart+Lisa: No. Marge: Good. I'm glad. And that's what makes me cool, not caring, right? Bart+Lisa: No. Marge: Well, how the hell do you be cool? I feel like we've tried everything here. Homer: Wait, Marge. Maybe if you're truly cool, you don't need to be told you're cool. Bart: Well, sure you do. Lisa: How else would you know?
