If you have yet to vote in either (or both) of these polls, they are still open and will be for a while longer.
Since posts to those threads are what keep them in view, and since there haven’t been all that many posts – just votes – maybe they have escaped your notice.
Here’s how things looked in both polls last night:

===============================================
There was also a Pre-Poll effort at
Pre-Poll Data Collecting – What’s your Favorite “raw” fruit?
The point to this particular thread is to try to reach a decision on what (if anything) to do next to give anyone interested a chance to vote or to comment on the basic issue of Favorite Raw Fruit.
If warranted, another poll may be posted after some discussion, either here or in either (all) of those other threads. I had planned on Friday as a date for that additional poll, but I wanted to be sure I wasn’t jumping the gun with that move.
What are your thoughts on the issue?
