You made some very good points in response to my semi-tongue-in-cheek
perverse-logic posting.

To be more perverse, I didn't think of your point myself because I don't
take the photo-3d polls too seriously.

I'd suggest that Bob simply state a policy that for any poll to actually influence
list policy, it has to be a subject he's willing to bend on, one that has been
discussed before the poll, and a poll that he originates.  In other words, a
hybrid polling policy.  Anybody can generate polls, but the only ones that
influence the dictator are the ones the dictators words and initiates.

Sound reasonable?

P.S. - I also think the adlib policy polls will subside when it's found that
          they don't have the effect possibly intended. Think it's the new-toy
          effect in action.  :-)
