Hoi,
You may, but you will only get a subset of the people who have an opinion
going there. Common sense also dictates that you have to see the limit of
what you propose in the sense of who you will reach.
I for one read this thread and will not go to Meta.
Thanks,
GerardM

Steinsplitter, with respect (and I mean that!), I don't think a poll on
meta would be enough. For something this big, either we get the views of
the community as a whole - including those who don't read meta - or we
come
up with another way (eg a committee). A small
poll on meta would not be
representative enough.
