It might be very interesting indeed to see how results compare and a comparison of the results might help shape future surveys. I tend to agree with Geoff about respondents from this list not being typical of the QL community as a whole - something to think about when designing future surveys. If Dave can keep his survey deadline going, I'd be happy to write something for the next Quanta mag (too late for this one) to invite members who ain't on this list to complete the survey. I did complete the survey myself, I was the one who said he used Launchpad every day! > We now know that there are twice as many non-Quanta UK QL-ers than > there are Quanta UK QL-ers. Interesting fact, this, and one to be borne in mind when shaping future policies and surveys.
