I tend to avoid taking surveys. I was surprised to see a thread containing a response from me was turned into a POLL. I plunked around the boards, but I failed to recognize the mechanism for originating a POLL.

Please point me to learn more about creating a POLL and the criteria used in its construction.

Looks like you've got it figured out just fine.

I thank everyone for their vote. I enjoyed this opportunity to experience this poll feature. By ending the poll, it appears that I can no longer view the participants by the voting record. Once launched, I was not offered a means to correct spelling errors in the poll.
