The file POLL_HELP is a text file containing the help that is posted for the system
on Legend of the Nobles. This help can be modified any way you like.

Lastly, do NOT remove ANY credit information from the poll system, either in the .c
or .h files, or from the actual pedit_credits section. These must remain intact in
order for this poll system to be used. Changing or removing any of these contents
will void your free use of this system.

If you really like the system, feel free to donate to Legend of the Nobles. There is
a link on our home page for donation purposes.

Please feel free to contact me with legitimate questions or comments, but keep in
mind that this IS free and has not gurantees or warranties.
