1. Yes.

2. I really don't think the garden varaiety freeper does anything more than just vote in the polls

Messing with settings, deleting cookies, etc... These aren't the things that most people do. So, I think the answer to your question is, no, there is no difference.

freepers clear their cache and vote over and over and over.

9. Online polls are worthless

They do not represent anything scientific, and only reflect the views of those reading or waching a particular medium.

A total waste of time.
