LIR: Sex surveys are the most suspect in terms of the honesty of the participants. They are a waste of paper and time, IMO. -- nm - con_carne Jun 9, 09:11 10
- I just had sex twice while reading this post. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 9, 09:24
- I think people are more likely to be honest on an anonymous survey than they ever would be in social settings. -- nm - David Jun 9, 09:12 8
  - It depends on the method of the survey. - Stephen Jun 9, 09:21 5
    - Correct. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 9, 09:34
    - This is what I had presumed. I would imagine oral surveys are no longer the norm. It's needless labor. -- nm - David Jun 9, 09:24 2
      - Face to face surveys still have their place, in cases you want to collect subjective thoughts/opinions. Online is good for collecting quantitative - con_carne Jun 9, 09:33

Repost: Fandango has a 2 for $9 ticket deal on LivingSocial. If you're going to buy it, use one of these referal links, please! -- (link) - JaxSean Jun 9, 09:04 [Backboard] 7
- How do we know who already got theirs free (third referral) and who hasn't? -- nm - con_carne Jun 9, 09:09 1
