There's a "Delete my vote" button at the bottom of the poll.

Or is it just me, because I'm a moderator?

Just you.

I find it interesting that there are many who think that double is clear. I think that 2 is clear, and that double is something that I would consider (but reject).

2 does not necessarily end the auction, so I can support spades if partner introduces them now (which I think is unlikely) or we can find a diamond fit if partner bids again. I am not going to suggest that hearts and spades are equal preferences on my hand when I hold 5 hearts and 3 spades.

I also made the mistake of not including my initial choice among the actions that I would consider. So there should be one more vote for 2 in the second poll.

I vote "Some other action - explain" in the second poll, because option "no second action to consider" is not available. :)

I assumed selecting the same bid in both polls was saying I didn't consider a second action. Will have to check with my English-as-a-second-language tutor, however.

I think a plain reading is:

You can seriously consider an action and then choose it;

You can also seriously consider an action and then not choose it.

OK, now everyone should have the button.

It's automatically available to admins, I had to change a setting to make it available to everyone else.

She hasn't upvoted since I started running a script that sends me her upvote count every week.

Corrected my vote.

Now I will have to scour all of the other polls that I messed up and change those. :)

1 club opening bid can be 16-17 balanced.

Depends on the version of Precision being used. The most common modern variant uses a 14-16 NT.
