Golly, Dr. Bill, you're still very welcome, but mercy, you can stop thanking me now...
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.

(attention Faldage)
This poll is available to all? 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 took a little searching, but I found the poll in a right-hand column. It seems to be accessable to the general public; at least, it took my vote without inquiry or identification that I could tell.

it took my vote
That was my question: did I vote without realizing it? Doesn't seem like much of a poll if you only get one choice.
D'oh! The purloined poll. OK. I voted.
