I received the following note:
“You may like to bring this survey to the attention of your readers:
http://www.AdvancedSurvey.com/default.asp?SurveyID=42053 .
Responses are public: anyone who takes the survey can see a summary of all the responses when they complete their entry.
Responses are anonymous, I have no way of telling who responded. The survey software assigns each respondent a sequential number (and ensures only one response from each computer), so I can do cross-tabulations of responses, but I cannot identify respondents. If the survey gets sufficient responses to make the result meaningful, an analysis of responses will be published in due course.”
So click on the link and fill in the survey, please.
PS Not living in NSW I had problems filling in Question 8, I think I ticked Sydney and then explained at the end that I actually lived in Brisbane.
