The purpose of the weekly poll?

Hi all,

I was wondering what other members thought of the weekly polls, and their purpose.

I can understand that the current poll regarding which bumper sticker people prefer, would be useful for sales/marketing/promotions etc, but what of other topics?

Some months back, there was a poll asking forumites if they would prefer the spellcheck feature to launch automatically when a thread, reply or follow up in a thread was submitted. From memory, about 75% of respondents agreed that it would be good, but nothing happened. I know I have submitted replies etc without using spell check, and it is immediately published, so obviously nothing has changed.

Do the polls serve some purpose? Are the polls just for marketing research? Are they just a gimmick for amusement?

What do you think?

Cheers, Dave

P.S. Spellcheck used on this post! lol
