I almost always participate in polls. However-I don’t believe the outcome. I took part in a college class once when we studied polls and it’s really difficult to get unbiased answers. I personally would never ask if I needed another border etc, but I know that others do. I would answer in my own honest opinion-maybe.

My first thought was to click "Least" - butafter some thought I could see a use for a poll if someone had two fabrics that they are auditioning for a border, or if they had several layouts for a quilt. Oftentimes you have to sift through 5 pages of comments to read if members who have an opinion like option a or b.
So I think it would be a useful tool!

Yes, I enjoy creating polls and answering them (as long as they're not advertising). It's a quick way to seek opinions, and analyze data without reading through 12 pages of comments, many of which are unnecessarily repetitive. It's also a tool that some people would use because of the anonymity of it. For someone who wants to give honest feedback without hurting the person's feelings (as in a "do you like this layout, color?") I can see that answering with a simple poll could be helpful.

Well it seems many posters here want opinions on what works; borders or not, which colors or not, etc. Same as a 'poll' in my opinion, so many of us do participate and don't even think about it. I'd participate.

Maybe~ not sure of relevant topics.
Though I also enjoy the comments and conversation on any given topic. Some comments can help one think outside of the box, or give lovely ideas not previously thought of.
