Since it's basically just one data point, it's hard to take it too
seriously, but thanks -- I realized the same thing.
We decided not to do the follow-up surveys we had planned, due to concerns
about being seen as spammers, so we don't have any more data. It's a bit
frustrating that we can identify the most influential people, but can't
initiate communications with them, since that would inevitably mean a high
volume of unsolicited mail. On the other hand, we think we can uncover a
lot of attitudes automatically. I suspect that our text pattern
recognition software could figure out who *you* are supporting, for example!
