it does harm - selection of Bangalore over Chennai for the venue was done on 
the basis of 64 - 34 of the first 100 votes. Although we all accepted this, it 
did not leave a very pleasant taste in the mouth. To be meaningful, a survey 
should permit only one vote per person, the persons should register to vote, 
his registration has to be accepted. We did one such poll for chennai lug once 
where only members of the mailing list could cast precisely one vote per head. 
And it worked like a charm. (we also had another poll where someone gamed the 
system for fun and we had well over a thousand votes!). I am very strongly 
against this type of thing.
