Thanks for designing this study :-) but I'm not sure it's the direction I'd like to go in right now. Referendums don't always lead to good policy, though surveys may be useful in certain circumstances.

What about babblers who've chosen to leave the site?
> the people who choose to go out to dinner and post on the Admin board may not be representative of psycho-babblers in general.
True, but those who respond to surveys may not be, either...
> Would it be possible for you send out a survey to all users?
Yes, but what about users who don't want to receive it?
> until we know how babblers feel about this, we can debate in circles
Even if we knew, we might continue...
