Subject:      OT: Writing surveys
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

I received an invitation from T-Mobile yesterday to participate in a
survey of their HotSpot users (I'm not a HotSpot user, but I use their
EDGE network).

I don't see how it could produce meaningful results, because so many of
their questions did not have a correct answer, or even a remotely
correct answer, as a choice.

So when I write them, and other survey creators, an irritated letter
pointing out the error of their ways, what's a good URL to point them
to?  I think it will have to be pretty simplistic and not involve any
fancy statistical words (none of the real statisticians I've known would
have come up with a survey like theirs).
