I can do it, what do you want?
 
Could you make it so that in the Thread "Why have kids of your own" in Social Sciences, people can vote anonymously?

So that the message 'Be advised that this is a public poll: other users can see the choice(s) you selected.' won't be displayed.

I did choose that everyone can only vote once didn't I?

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures.
