now that I answered your questions, would you answer some of mine?

1) what is it that you study, and at what level (i.e. highschool, college, university...)
2) did anyone check your methodology before you started gathering data? because it sucks. what's your population? how do you expect 'people on the internet' to be a good representation of that? did you put any thought into the routing of your questionnaire?

when will you people realize that asking people on a gaming forum questions about anything is NOT good science, unless gaming forums are the thing you're researching? /rant
