----- Forwarded message from George W. Cobb -----
I don't disagree at all with Bob's point (there goes another chance to
be contentious!) but you can sometimes go a long way using the right
simplifying assumptions. Here's the reference:
O'Conner, M.P., and J.R. Spotilla (1992). "Consider a Spherical
Lizard: Animals, Models, and Approximations," _American Zoologist_ 32
pp. 179-193.

George, you neglected to tell us what the "right simplifying
assumptions" might be for analyzing Internet surveys!-)
