The poll was meant to reflect the diversity of opinions stated on the
reflectors on a matter where opinions ranges beyond a simple 'yes' or 'no'.
And believe it or not may people really 'don't care' if RST is or is not
sent.
Single questions polls that force individuals into one or another decision
may not be accurate barometer of community opinions. As mentioned by others
it is difficult to create a good poll, especially, when you ask the question
of a small group. It can lead to distortions and biases that may not reflect
the opinions of the broader contest community.
