the polls are not useless.
they have helped, many many times, in the past, for Doepfer to decide features included in their designs and decisions about their forthcoming modules.
ok, of course, they are not always really valid due to the low number of participants (that's why i am always asking for the member to vote!) but they are indeed useful many times.

It's better than not doing it! Doepfer is one of the most democratic
