Re: 2007 MySQL Community Survey - Got Ten Minutes to Spare?
Problems again with the survey design and functionality. Page 4 asks questions about Falcon, and to be honest I don't know anything about Falcon, but you've required answers to advance and only offered yes' and no' as choices. Without a Don't know choice as an option, your results will be totally skewed. I designed survey questionnaires in my past life as a psychologist, and this one is fatally flawed. I'm done. I won't try again. David Thanks for the input! Hopefully, I've fixed the problem. Please retry. It should have saved your previous answers. Thanks much! Jay J.R.

Re: 2007 MySQL Community Survey - Got Ten Minutes to Spare?
You are more altruistic than I can ever be. Every time I go through a nameless fast-food drive-through (too often, based on my girth), they offer me a chance to win $1,000 if I complete a survey. I never take those surveys. Reasons: a)If, for example, 10,000 people take the survey and the payout is $1,000, that means on average I get $0.10 for taking the survey. Not enough. b)I have no evidence that payouts are ever made. For all I know, the fast food chain offers everybody $1,000 and pays nobody (no way to verify). A chance to win isn't tangible. My stance on those things is always reward first, then I take the survey. Dave.
