"...Or they could be like Annie and others and not even see it."

I consider this to be the most likely culprit since the actual question is the only place that says this would be an additional option.

"So all of you who cannot see the question, are you able to answer the poll?  Would this be why there is so much negativity towards having an added file type to download, a new choice to make, that wont affect zip lovers at all because they can still have them?"

No, see AnnieD's screenshot a few posts back.  We can't see the question or participate in the poll, there isn't even anything in the page display that indicates anything is missing.  To us it looks as if the text of the article itself is the question and that the poll consists of giving our opinion on it as it is written there.
