From slashdot.org (1):

* Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when
you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
* Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd
strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
* This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot
stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do
anything important, you're insane.
