Although this survey is supposedly just for fun, it is yet another public, open
forum for stating your views regarding whether to eliminate/combine/merge
Single Operator category and you can read what others have to say with
identification as to who is saying what.
It now been further clarified this morning on the actual survey that the
question is only whether the committee should have an open discussion regarding
making that change. Found out there were many, like me, who didn't know how to
answer that question or how those responses might be interpreted.
The intention appears to be to elicit YES responses from both sides of the real
issue which means the question means absolutely nothing from a survey point of
view and everything if the results of the survey are interpreted like most
surveys - to see how people stand on one side or the other of a real issue. I
was told clearly that those who are against the proposed change should be
willing to vote Yes.
In my opinion the safe route for someone who wants to eliminate/combine/merge
is YES, the safe route for someone who is not in favor to eliminate that
category is NO and for each to make their comments.
How would you interpret the results if 80% said they thought there should be an
open discussion to eliminate the Single Operator category and you knew nothing
else? I would say, in that case, there are a vast majority who think it is
worth considering. How would you then interpret those same results if you
found out, for example, that 90% of all responders did not want the proposed
change regarding categories to be made?
The real survey is here. http://cqww2013.questionpro.com/ in case you missed it
when the link was included in K5ZD's response to another post a week ago.
Looking forward to the time when the technology associated with allowing me to
reset my password for contesting.com can be made to work by the people working
on it so I can submit a response to the actual question posed by the survey. :-)
