This is actually the second time that this has been
suggested. We are trying to weigh the value of people
checking in occasionally to see the ongoing results
against the possibility that the results may be skewed.
I, personally, do not think that people are swayed
by seeing the results, but I have been wrong before
(at least that what my wife always tells me).

A proposal: on the next poll, we put the question to
the members. Problem is... do we show the ongoing
results of that poll or not?:-)))
