I'm sorry, it was me.
I was messing with my own thread (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=38&threadid=1165018)
I was seeing if i could add poll options without editing my post (i was bored and figured it was harmless since it was my thread)
The pollid isn't shown anywhere in the message, so i started a new thread with a poll (to get the pollid) - but never finished that thread (so it doesn't show up)
Then I subtracted 1 from that id to get the pollid of my original poll.
HappyPuppy apparently posted his poll right after mine; therefore when i subtracted 1 to get MY pollid...i actually got his.
I am sorry for this, I shouldn't have been messin around with it. On the bright side, I found a security hole for them to fix. Hell I'll fix it forum if it makes things better.
I never meant to make anyone look stupid or humiliated.
I'm sorry.
