here is the table structure:
first table
pool id
pool name
pool question
pool votes
start date
end date
second table
answer id
pool id
answer
votes
vote once per pool
on the same page there could be several pools (depending on the start
and end date) and when voted i wanted to store pool id in a cookie -
then whei i actualy want to print a pool on the page i do this
read from db
loop
if cookie exist (with the pool id)
print pool results in a table
else
print pool in a table
end loop
that should be enough

Will work for bandwidth!
