I do find it a bit annoying. I am used to it my now, but yeah, annoying when the OP does not realize that it will happen.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Well, the reason that the poll name is displayed has been rehashed a few times. It is to prevent "trick threads" where the poll has nothing to do with the subject line.

At the same time, it's an easy adjustment after the first couple of times you create a poll. All you have to do is phrase your poll title accordingly. You, for example, could have named your poll "Are you annoyed that poll topics are shown as the subject line?" That would both ask the poll question and allow users to know the subject of the thread all at the same time. It takes a little getting used to, but I don't find it annoying. I kind of like it, actually.

* How is it that "Fat Chance" and "Slim Chance" mean the same thing?
* If you choke a Smurf, what color will it turn?

The thread title and the poll title should be reasonably close to the same subject anyways.

Indeed. I think the main thing is to prevent people from making the poll "do you agree with me?" and editing the subject line to make it seem like people agreed with them. Now the thread topic people see (from the topic listing) is something that they can't edit.

I find it wierd when people do that. I mean, make the Title attract people and state the question in the poll question. Makes more sense.

It can be annoying, but it can be helpful too. I have gotten used to it.

It's annoying when it's forgotten, but one can always edit the post...
