Welcome to the forum newcomers! Please abstain from posting new threads without searching. Remember this is the internets so try to be nice. Plenty of the vets can get cranky or gruff. Stick around and try to get along and you will do just fine.
If you find an old post, I would bump the original rather than start a new one so long as it is still relevant. If you want a poll and can't find a recent poll just an older one or several, I would start a new poll but link to the most recent poll in the first paragraph of your new post. We have this come up all the time.
