[Qcwa] CW POLL

Fri, 25 Jul 2003 08:37:43 -0700

Dan,
You're quite right, a poll is a poll is a poll. It really doesn't matter if
you poll the computer illiterate or the literate, you get a sampling and
that's the idea of polling.
The gentleman from the UK is quite correct CW was the first intelligent
communications, and of course AM was the first intelligent voice. As I
recall there were a lot of people that had a hard time moving on from that
as well.
There will always be CW and no one wants to see it disappear, but the days
of it being a requirement are past. Let's move forward.

Norm,

The problem with any poll is that only those that are passionate about it
will respond to the question.  That alone will make any poll that request
a response not valid.

Of course we could call 100 registered QCWA members and frame the
question in such a way that we get the answer we are looking for like
the news media does it and call that scientific :-).

Have A Great Day,
