This is the polls - only, no discussion thread. If you can’t stick to the theme of the thread, please don’t participate in it. There are lots of other threads to discuss stuff, including the one that @squeegee linked, where there’s chatter about the polls here.
- I should be allowed to vote in @puzzlegal’s mod-green “is this a poll?” poll

How do you make a cup of tea?
Note: If you do something like put loose tea in a metal ball and put that in hot water, choose one of the “teabag” options. For purposes of this poll the metal ball with tea in it is a teabag.
- Put the teabag in the cup first, then pour boiling water over it.
- Put hot water in the cup first, then dunk the teabag in it.
- I don’t know, I do both depending on my mood that day.
- The only proper way is to brew it in a teapot, you silly colonials.
- Something completely different.
- I don’t drink tea but I insist on voting, too.
