Concerning the polls

The polls are simple opinion samplings and are not scientific by any means. Usual poll etiquette is assumed (see Disclaimer below). First pass at polls is closed.

If there is an interest (as determined by comments), a more rigorous approach will be tried.

The 'role' poll is new; perhaps, those who voted before will return to update their role. Future poll combinations will include a 'role' poll.

One topic to discuss will be how many polls, of two-week durations and of this type, could there be the next few months to a year, or so, that would be interesting and, perhaps, useful.

Disclaimer: Usual poll etiquette assumed; polls are oriented toward information and not mis/dis-information. A casual user cannot double vote on any poll. But, there is no guard against intentional duplicate votes by those who know how. There is no consistency checking between polls. There is no meta-information about who votes or why. There is no way to correlate between the polls, however the 'role' poll allows some indication of interest.
