Up front, I want to say that this is not an 'official' list. Just suggestions and observations.
After the last round of polls were some thing was missing to make everyone happy, I thought that it would be nice to have a thread of best practices with regard to Polls.
1. In all multiple choice questions always include the option to opt out of that question. (In my most recent poll, I forgot to include a 'none of the above' option for each of my questions.)
2. There is no such thing as a Yes/No question. It usually goes like this. Yes/No/Maybe/Why should I care?
Please feel free to update and embellish the above list.
