1. Those polls are a pain to get to.
2. They're often uninteresting questons.
But I will say that it is the correct way to conduct a poll as opposed to
polling in the list itself where voters are affected, at least subconciously, by
the votes of others. On the other hand, open polling on the list is better for
generating discussion on the list.
