oh - and it doesn't really matter here - but for future reference, I greatly prefer public polls so everyone can see how we voted.
The only exception should be any issue that is really sensitive for some reason. (Maybe this one is?

)
Public polls help us keep track of whether or not all the active posters have voted - and serves as a check against a bunch of team 3 lurkers (you know who you are!) from hijacking a vote away from the people that are really involved and paying attention.
Just my 2 cents
