P.S. I don't mean to imply by the above that "surveys" or "questions" on PPML are useless, or questions such as those posed are a bad/non-useful thing; the questions and their responses can be informative and useful, as long as the limitations and specific characteristics are understood by the participants. I only mean, that "professional survey development" on PPML would be overkill, due to the statistical limitations, that prevent drawing a valid conclusion by counting answers. -- -JH _______________________________________________ PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
