as a matter of fact, he is one of the finest boon companions a man
could ever hope for. and if you think this "kid" is innocently gathering
data for a school project, then fill out his questionnaire and hush.

To 'a-happy-up-yours',

I know market researchers are annoying and will try everything to get a
survey filled out. I actually am a student at the University of Saskatchewan
and my professor wants me to get 100 surveys filled out for my business
plan. I do not know 100 people from the United States who are interested in
fishing, so I thought I would post for help on some newsgroups.

If this offended you, I am sorry.. I am not a specialist on newsgroup
etiquette.

Well, Joe: one piece of etiquette is to not cross-post personal or specific
replies after the initial barrage across the bows.

For the record, I filled in your survey, and its quite unobtrusive. Don't
really like the 'how much do you earn' question; I'd suggest "how much of
your disposable income do you allocate for fly fishing" instead. Also,
you're missing about half the States, including mine. Not good for a
University student, I'd say. And what about those folks who go on fishing
expeditions more than twice a year? There's no selection for that, and I'd
think that those folks were your primary market.

Anyway, good luck; so far I'd give you a C- for content, and a C for effort.
And whats with the hot tub question?? What about a fly shop, a bar, library
of resources, game drives, available women?

I would guess that many are concerned, and rightly so, that filling out
any form online has a good chance of being yet another way of spammers
harvesting email addy's, phone #'s, personal info etc.
Also sometimes links will take people to "trash sites" where one can
encounter browser highjackers
and other such nasties. The net can be a great place for research
unfortunately too many A$$holes use it for less than honorable purposes
hence the skepticism you have encountered.

Well, to carry-on....

Is the currency $US or $CDN?

As for inclusive pricing, if meals at a fly-in are *not* included, what's the
alternative? How can any answer here indicate anything meaningful.

This "survey" is poorly contrived and has a bias toward the conclusion. It's
*exactly* the kind of crap that collects useless information and touts it as the
result of a scientific process from which business decisions can be made.

If you must persist in this manner of "research", then learn how to logically
structure your inquiry tree, think through the process and remove the biases.
Also note that your professor's suggestion of an "N" of 100 is a very small
sample, particularly if a "business plan" will be based on the outcome.

Hey, take it easy on him, there, Tom. He's at a Canadian university after
all. That N of 100 represents about a 40% sample space.
