Although I agree this is needed, perhaps a forum poll isn't the best way
for user's to vote (for need of a better word). I know I certainly think
it would be a lot easier just replying to this email than say: going to
the link above, logging in (or registering for some people) and voting.
This may be why there's only been one vote so far (as well as it's only
been half an hour since you started the thread).

Would it be possible for you to setup some sort of email based poll on
this mailing list, as I think a lot more people would vote then. For
now, if anyone wants to vote without having to register an account, etc,
I'll vote for them if they send me an email to hrickards at l33tmyst.com
encrypted with my GPG key - 1024D/646ED06A. That is, after the
administrator of the forum approves my account (see how long it will
take people to vote, most people will not bother.) Thanks
