It would be interesting to know a couple of things:

Did the Clusterspots percentage include the RBN percentage? It appears 
that it must.  Also, was the question asked of all respondents about 
*all* operating, or just about contesting? Finally, was participation in 
the survey actively solicited or were the respondents self-selected?
