Let's not let relatively irrelevant semantics get in the way of the issue: Sandy has claimed that the results of the survey represent both IW and IWE readers, when this is clearly not the case.

No doubt at least 60% of those surveyed are Americans. But it is not valid for Sandy to now claim that the results show Americans' choices, since a random sample of Americans wasn't taken.

I think we've covered this enough, now we just need a response from Sandy or Rachel. I've stated before that, unless InfoWorld retract the claim that the results reflect the opinions of InfoWorld Electric readers, that Sandy has no journalistic integrity (or else she's just really dense) and I stand by that.
