Actually, I've visited the other European airlines forum a few times since this thread started, but I'm not sure how informative that is beyond getting a very rough impression of the number and nature of recent threads about Aer Lingus versus other airlines and a very rough sense of who has been posting and contributing there.

No one has suggested that decisions about new fora be based solely on polls, but if we can reasonably get some information from a poll at little cost in time or effort, why not do so? Of course I'm aware of the need to interpret polls cautiously due to small numbers of respondents who self select, but sometimes a low response rate is itself informative. The question and choices also need to be worded appropriately, with careful attention given to whether multiple responses should be permitted.
