Mark. I am indeed already using Facebook and Twitter for this survey
and all my SI promotion efforts.
Please feel free to go on your Facebook and Twitter and pass this
survey on to your contacts as well.
The reason I do not go into detail about things like A4 paper size (as
you suggest) is that most Americans have no idea that A4 is even an
option; my rigged survey is intended to inspire people to investigate
details like that on their own. Have you ever visited Metric Pioneer?
Facebook and Twitter links are right on top of the web page.

David:
I think nine is a rather small sample, even if you use the Student's T
distribution, the data is unlikely to be very reliable.
I'd suggest going for a bigger audience. How about using Facebook or
Twitter for you survey, and ask people that if A4 were available for
an equal or smaller price than US eight and a half by eleven how many
people would be willing to switch.

Please take this survey and pass it on to people you know:

Background: A while ago, I posted an A4 Paper Size survey that
was
rather substandard.
That survey asked two questions: zip code and what paper size
you use.
I had only 9 responses, 8 US responses and one British response.
Only 4 answered that they use A4 size paper (44%) and 5 answered
Other (56%).
I give this background because I had promised to release these
results
later this year.
