Will you share your guess with us, sooner or later (and be honest about it)?
I voted for information as I expected most would do on a decent and moderated forum like this.

I hit porn, but that was just to be difficult.

Interesting though that porn has the second highest after information.

Information but with caution however depending on the site.

Did anyone seriously vote for porn or are those 3 votes just taking the pee pee? I know Xabb has come forward and said he was just joking. But what about the other 2 porn votes?

Sometimes in a poll I find myself thinking about it for several minutes, and sometimes never coming to a decision. Other times there is only one choice; this was one of those.

Information, hands down.

On any given day the Internet is comprised of three things, Star Wars, The Civil War, and Porn… not necessarily in that order…

So my vote goes for Porn, same reason as Xabba... :P

Information.

The internet is the popular counter-revolution of the 21st century.

To take you litterally, that can'be true because most votes went to other categories.
To give an honest answer, I think almost everybody - sometimes - hits some porn site, if only occasionally. But I find whatching porn on internet rather boring, compared for instance to moderating this forum. And since the question was what the best thing about internet was I can honestly say - hands down, together with Sailor Steve - information. And porn doesn't rank second or third with me either...

I guess it's true what they say about the level of testosteron dropping when getting to a certain [cough] age
