Quote - Sorry for the remark,  but who will provide the data in your poll???

Right, the same "forum gang". :-)
Those that come here every day;

Not necessarily the same people. A poll can be put on the "store pages" and people who never dive into the forum may respond. Also, a poll restricts responses to one per customer, and collates the responses for the vendor, rather than requring them to read through massive forum threads and tally who supports what. I believe 3D Universe used to do this for their Texture Converter 2 product, to decide which figures would be supported next.
