I don't know how the results are disseminated, but from a
research perspective the findings are meaningless.
There is no demographic info on the respondants so
we have no idea who responded. It could have been
answered by 90% LLLI members, could have been 100
people who answered the survey multiple times.
We have no way of knowing if the repsondants reflect
the population and most likely they do not, they
reflect those who care about the subject enough to
answer the survey.
I hope that the results aren't quoted anywhere.
Makes me wonder about survey results that are quoted in
some places.
