That's because that poll is skewed.  You can only choose one option, 
even if more than one is acceptable to you.  Thus, persons must vote 
strategically to avoid a bad outcome due to a split vote.

If you were allowed to select all acceptable options, I would've 
included "mail to package owner only" as an acceptable option.  But 
since I can only pick one, I would not "waste my vote" and thus keep 
my most-preferred option (no commenting system at all) from receiving 
a plurality of votes.
