To find the FAQ poll on Jo's site, locate the puddle of paperclips and a thumbtack on the Desktop and pass your cursor over them. They will turn into a question mark and become a FAQ link. Click it, Owl post delivers 3 pieces of mail and 2 feathers onto the desk.
Now the paperclips form an X when the cursor touches them, and becomes an Exit link. (The clips and tack will stay in the question mark or X shape until you pass the cursor over them again. )

Click on any of the 3 owl post letters to bring you to the FAQ letter, with a loose index sheet on the side. You can access the other letters from this tab and submit your vote in the poll. (Point your curser on it, it will pop out.)
