Friends, there seems to be a newfound urge to publish questionnaires/polls ASAP. In reality, there is absolutely NO need for that. This feature is going to stay. A good poll has to be well thought out, covering as many parameters and entities as possible, clearly worded, yet simple. But what we see here is over enthusiasm resulting in some half-baked polls. Please do not do injustice to the popular feature and for it become a really useful tool, please rehearse it and think twice before putting them up for vote. Thanks for understanding.

Take it or leave it, it's for those who lend their ears. In fact, it seems you are taking my suggestion (not forced down anyone's throat here) seriously and reverting back to me and thank you for taking me seriously. I'm just a small fry here :)

yeah sir i took seriously and i just wanted to know what made you feel that injustice is happening to this feature ( injustice is actually a very big word ) in my opinion people are enjoying feature and let them enjoy... and we are getting genuinely interesting answers..
as per one poll lhb defeated talgo hands down which was quite interesting because it was thought that talgo will replace lhb .. but people have really rejected talgo design... so i think its going in right direction only..

Agree with you there, but I didn't say all the polls are bad. A few of them were and were increasing in number and I just drafted my opinion. Of course, it's not a writ.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
