I apologise, if my comments were construed to cast aspersion on the
particular polls, mentioned above. That was not my purpose.

I had understood that a particular polling process, had been
established, and, then, it appeared, from the message to which I was
responding, polls could proliferate, with no controls, leading to a
plethora of polls, of which, not all results may have been valid, and,
all of this made it somehat confusing.

But, then, as you may have seen by a message that I have now posted, I
have no idea of what is going on now, anyway, and, how it all works, so,
I am just completely confused, and, as it all apparently ends in a
couple of days, I suppose it doesn't really matter.

Perhaps, the idea, is the provebial, "If you can't dazzle them with
science, baffle them with ...", and, I am certainly baffled.

Perhaps, it is just me...
