Here's a link straight to the current list of polls, for handy bookmark:

Poll number 4's title/question is:

"What type of BI do you like the best?"

While concise questions are good, I had no idea *what* this poll was about
till I went into it, saw who originated it (Jake), remembered his hot button
of the moment, and read some of the questions. Now, I surmise it has
something to do with online building instructions.. (I think). But who knows?

Please make your poll title/questions descriptive enough that it's possible
to determine what the poll is about. Contrast that with number 3. I may have
been too verbose but hopefully it's clear what it's about.

A related suggestion, is it possible to put some FTX content on the poll
page itself? Not in the question, not in the answers but perhaps elsewhere
in the page. This MIGHT help with context. Not sure if the work is worth the
effort though.

Is it possible to delete a poll once created? To edit or modify it (possibly
implying that the votes are lost)? To declare it closed and no more votes
available/accepted (thus perhaps removing it from the list of active polls)?

Without the ability to delete or to close, the URL given will lead to a list
of polls that gets longer and longer and longer....

But ya, this is way nifty!
