Or better still, just take the results from people who have posted.

If this was the case I'd rather they sent the questionnaire to the
entire mailing list and added the "are you an active mailing list
user?" question.

i don't think so. the questions would be mostly nonsense if only "active  
members" (whatever the definition) are to be asked -- and the survey  
itself would not be really useful for scientific purposes.
moreover, the number of mails sent and the number of subscribers to the  
lists seem to be really close (do not have the numbers for the list handy,  
but they were posted last week or so).

i pondered the idea a while, but after some research i decided to take  
part.

Did anyone else ignore the original survey as unsolicited spam? I'd
have probably completed it if they'd sent a mail to the mailing list
asking people to take part, but sending it to individual users seemed
to be bad netiquette.
