I agree with Brandon insofar as the modular community consists 
largely of feature-junkies who mostly don't consider the cost factor 
or business sense when requesting another bell and/or whistle. 

I feel that Dieter is quite gracious in encouraging user input in the 
form of polls, which give us all a bit of a say on the final product. 
I mean, he's suffered our endless suggestions on, begging for, and 
bickering about certain features... and still asked for more.

On the other hand, and I know I've said this before, it's my opinion 
that too many simultaneous polls about a particular module (or set of 
features) makes the ouput of the polls less meaningful.  My 
suggestion is to limit the number of polls to one or two until said 
polls are closed.  Then, if another poll is required for the same 
module(s), refine the questions based on the measured output of the 
closed polls.  Maybe by limiting the number of active polls, more 
would participate.

Regards,
Kevin

Do you think, in other words, we're wrecking our own credibility?

Not necessarily, but modular users in general tend to consider money and
time to be low priorities, and have never seen a feature they wouldn't
like. This is especially true of modular users who would take the time to
answer an internet poll about modular features. This will give results
that may or may not be representative of your userbase as a whole, and
most certainly is not going to result in maximizing product sales. Since,
from a business perspective, time and money ARE important considerations,
at some point Dieter needs to just stop listening to us modular nuts and
release a module in it's currently functional state.
