Virgil,

I have a considerable background in inferential statistics, and have 
done formal survey research, in a variety of social and cultural 
contexts. I want to warn you that this sort of self-select, opt-in 
survey is NOT the way to go, if your question is serious.

You ARE only going to get a subset (sample) of your population of 
interest, and you'll have no way to relate that subset to the 
population, thus no way to draw any valid conclusions from the subset. 
It's pseudo-research, which creates the impression of creating knowledge 
without actually doing so.

Just something for you, and others, to think about.

Hope it's helpful.

Tom
