I quickly looked at it, and it seems like what you have there really won't tell you anything interesting. Actually it seems all you'll find out about is who subscribes to gnome, et al, mailing lists and how much those subscribers like their favourite desktop. If you'd like to actually help us out, you should sit down and do a proper study on regular desktop users, non hackers or enthusiasts. Getting users from ANY mailing list is going to shoot your sample bias to shreds. > We sincerely apologize if you receive more than one copy of this > announcement. Don't apologize, just don't don't do it. :) There are some mailing list that are more appropriate for this than others, and almost everyone is subscribed to more than one. Next time you should probably stick to gnome-list to make such an announcement. In particular, usability@xxxxxxxxx is filled with lots of wacky people that like to discuss that sort of thing.
