I too thought polls would be more useful, but I find polls to be of very limited use on a discussion site.

You want explanations and discussions and explorations… not context-free snap judgments that hew to a very narrow set of inflexible, predefined options.

(For example, I find that the best “option” is often one that I hadn’t even thought of..)
