The purpose of this thread is to determine if there is smoke. If there is, we can start looking for the fire.
Yeah, but this isn’t even a good way to see if there is smoke. Say 1000 FReepers see this thread, and only ten of them got the survey. Who is more likely to chime in? The ten who got the survey or the 990 who did not?
So your methodology is determinative of the results.
