[EM] recommendations for news group with good polling facilities?

I see TWO topics here:

As to discussion groups I see Yahoo! doing well and trying to improve.
      I would recommend NOT settling for anything less than this for this 
service.

As to polling I suspect you want something no one is doing:
      Need to define what you want to accomplish (but be ready to consider 
proposed amendments from whoever is considering doing the work).
      Need a good sales pitch as to why this is worth doing.
      With the above, Yahoo! is a possibility - this thing that grew like 
Topsy from a couple of college student's spare time clearly would like to 
grow some more wherever it can find value.

            Do to no one what you would not want done to you.
                  If you want peace, work for justice.
