I really enjoy polls, usually I read them first thing after logging in.. It is interesting to read, how the majority of our colleagues feel about the ups and downs of the profession.
Lately I noticed, some questions remain on till they grow a long, gray beard, even if suggestions for new ones have already submitted a while ago.
Can we have this section refreshed more frequently?

Ideas for polls Sep 16, 2021

- how often do you shave your armpits?
- how much coffee do you drink? (this one is really interesting)
- what is the weather like where you are, right now?
- why is a mouse when it spins?
- why does the weather mostly come from the west?
- what is the meaning of life?
- do you like polls?

My question was "Can we have polls more often?" Sep 21, 2021

There are questions in English that are actually polite requests, e.g. "Can I have a cup of tea?", and this is one of these. Unlike to the story told to future lawyers about the importance of accuracy in using the language. If someone asks a lawyer walking on the street "Do you know, what time is it?", his correct response is to say "yes" and walk away.
