I think there is a problem with the
question: Not everyone thinks of R
as a statistics program. Furthermore,
I don't think it should be thought of
as a statistics program.
(Statistics is what stuffy professors
do, I just look at my data and try to
figure out what it means.)

... What about snowball
sampling with R-help as an initial frame?
That's an interesting idea! I could put together a Two-item web survey:
1. What stat package do you use?
2. What's your main email address
P.S. the email address was an attempt to keep people from "stuffing the
ballot box" but on the other hand, it could turn people off. I guess the
number of blank fields would tell us which.
Also, stat package choice would have to be a "check all that apply"
question.
If they choose R, I could optionally ask what their favorite packages
are. I might be able to get that on a web survey this week if it
doesn't
get too crazy.
