That is just your bias (happens to be mine, too). If their sampling space is unbiased, a lot of the people in it won't agree with it being a problem, though. Unfortunately, the choice of survey tools will bias who will participate on the survey, so it *is* indeed relevant to the survey results. But to unbias it you'd need tools that are neutral on almost every aspect (and that includes usability by the survey-taking participants, for example). -- Henrique Holschuh
