How could you vote for Croatia if you list Spain as your location?

I am currently living in Madrid, but I am Croatian.

The poll asked where I was from.
The location asked where I was.

Please read the first post again.......it asked where you are posting from, not where you are from.

I usually answer threads that ask a question from the title, and not the body of the post. I'm sure others do the same.

Something like that -- I answer the poll question.
I read the post and still voted Croatia because the question asked where I was from, not at. Anyways, since my stay in Spain is temporary, it makes absolutely no sense to me to vote for Spain. Sorry, Spaniards.

Really? You just willy nilly answer polls without reading the opening post to find out what they are about?

If the thread title is in the form of a question I do. The title and post shouldn't contradict each other, but sometimes they do.

I agree with Ivy and tubemonkey, insofar as it's a bit ambiguous.

"Where are you from" implies place of origin, somewhere else. It could reasonably be interpreted to mean where have you come from, or where were you born.

"Where you currently live now" might not make much sense if someone has more than one home in different countries, travels and divides their time between them, or is staying in a country temporarily.

If someone who was staying temporarily in country "B" during 2010, had voted, then returned home to country "A", they might now want to change their vote to update their status, because the title has since been changed to 2011.

Wish I can vote but I'm in/from Singapore and there are no options. I'd click on England to throw the poll off (well, we study using British English, not American...) but I'm too nice.

lol... ^ thanks for finding this one.

Think this thread needs to be updated. Some countries are notably missing [HK, Singapore, China, etc...]

Maybe an "other" category if too much to list?
