300 respondents do reflect our readers (Sandy Reed) Wed, 18 Jun

But they DON'T reflect Electric readers

This is from your column:

We are confident that the telephone survey reflects the opinions of InfoWorld readers, both print and Electric.

A random sample of InfoWorld Electric readers was not used. Therefore, from a statistically valid point of view, you can not state in your column that InfoWorld Electric readers made these choices.

Are you going to print a retraction to your column, in which you retract the misrepresentation that the poll reflects the feeling of InfoWorld Electric readers? If not, you have no journalistic integrity.
