Good to have this separate thread to let off some steam.
pdurrant who got this thing on the road and does all the work (very much appreciated) has decided to do a non-anonymous poll (his poll - his decision), reacted with changing the configuration of the running polls (not by answering the question - his poll - his decision) after getting some flack for this with the ugly "WHY" question, is now waiting for someone else to supply the killer argument for making the following polls non-anonymous again (your poll - your decision)
okay ...
