Another Inconsistency

Thanks for your response. It's nice to
see one.

"Also bear in mind, we're looking for a
sample to reflect the population of
InfoWorld subscribers, not the entire
world."

Except that Rachel Parker wrote that
"Having reviewed the methodology and
the ballot, we feel strongly that this new
poll accurately reflects the opinions of
InfoWorld and InfoWorld Electric
readers."

Notice she mentioned "Infoworld Electric
readers" too? Not just subscribers. And
were IE readers who weren't necessarily
subscribers polled? Not as far as I know.

And since this site is open to all, that
means Rachel thinks this poll *did*
reflect the "entire world."

Sigh... the flaws in your new poll just
keep adding up. And you're getting
almost *no* support here. How can you
continue defending its results with a
straight face?
