Poll title: Should the epub of Herman Melville’s writings include his poetry? Maybe not, it could be better to have one file for prose and another for poetry (we have something similar for Lovecraft).
As for the usefulness of "I don't care", can normal users see the poll results without voting?

But wouldn’t it be better to let us forget crap instead of preserving it for eternity (or till the next server crash)? Why would
more always be
better?
And I haven’t heard anyone yet who wanted to speak out for the quality of Melville’s poems. It seems to me that nobody here ever read any of them, nor intends to start now. So what would the inclusion of the poems be good for?
Regarding the separation of prose and poetry in two epubs: I’m not a fan. I prefer one author’s writings in one neat package.
Speaking of packages: we currently need five more votes to make the result obligatory, but I still accept gifts.
