You see, the topic of the poll is RSS readers. More specifically, how many sites do you subscribe to in your reader of choice? But since polls here aren't typically associated with a new story, they don't generate a new entry in anyone's RSS feed! Hence the surprising results thus far that show 50% or so of the audience doesn't use an RSS reader. I know there are more newsreader users out there than that, given the traffic we see in the log files.
So the only purpose of this 'hint' is to create a new entry in your RSS readers, and convince you to take a minute and vote in the survey. The results sort of meaningless as it stands now, since we're missing out on a key segment of the audience! So all you RSS fanatics, here's your chance to set things straight...
