How can you be so sure if you don't ask the question? I've just had a look and there appears to be some literature on the subject, so you at least want to ask the question to make sure you're getting a representative sample. Surely it's up to the person doing the survey to decide whether this should go in; if it's coming from an academic department they will (or should at least) know how much people dislike these sorts of questions and will only include them if necessary. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
