I, not being a subscriber, couldn't read the article, but I did vote in a most interesting poll (attention Faldage): Dictionaries should be much more prescriptive, far less descriptive, than they now are. The ballot is quite interesting to peruse.

I can't even post on the forum anymore, having been kicked out twice. I went to the front page and clicked on the poll. A new page came up, claiming to be the poll page (in the URL) , but I didn't see any difference between it and the main page. Did I just vote for Saddam Hussein?

It seems to be accessable to the general public; at least, it took my vote without inquiry or identification that I could tell.

Doesn't seem like much of a poll if you only get one choice. D'oh! The purloined poll. OK. I voted.
