This poll was a pretty straightforward question.
NIMHO.
Thread starts with "Traveling" and poll says "Destination."
I don't consider driving 0.7mi to shul for mincha on Friday to be travel or a destination and voted "No" as such.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Exactly. Huge difference if you can just park the car and walk in case something comes up or getting stuck in traffic 30 miles from your destination.

Traveling or driving. Driven or arrived to your destination. Or is a conjunction which is used to link alternatives.

Anyone can vote however they want or feel is most accurate, though (especially you - it's your site). There are no repercussions. 😀

You could’ve just asked if anyone ever did melacha after 18 minutes but before Shkiya. And I can tell you the answer, 100% of votes are yes.

Understood, but just seems like a pointless poll without clarity of the objective, which I simply assumed based on skimming the key words and without reading the previous discussion.

The second indicates that one conceptually would, but has never experienced a sufficiently extenuating circumstance to have caused it to occur.

Correct. This is what I meant with those two options.

Ever means anything but no is yes, no? Isn't it binary?

Yes, and I don’t think binary is representative. Just because someone did this once doesn’t mean they think it’s remotely normal for it to happen on a regular basis.
