Fan Survey interim report

Regarding "What are we like?" survey,

http://www.geocities.com/ruigarashi/Surveys/fans/

I just thought I'd drop a mini-report after a little more than a week
of running.  I try not to discuss specific interim results, but I can
say that, so far, I have 50 responders.  At this point last year, I 
already had 100 returns.  I think I screwed up somewhere.  Perhaps
the questionnaire is finally just plain too long.  And it's clear to 
me that I fumbled the 2nd "notice" which was simply the text-only 
version of the questionaire with a small note.  I should have expanded 
more on the situation.  I blame lack of sleep (this week has been Hell).  

Anyways, thanks to those that have already participated, and apologies
to those that couldn't due to some odd software idiosyncracy in the
forms script.  There have been some good suggestions by some of the 
participants.  One person suggested "anime based game or game based 
anime" questions (e.g. interest in, which started interest in the 
other).  Another pointed out that when I asked about "web forums" I 
didnt' specify "anime-related web forums".  Someone pointed out 
non-video games like "Big Eyes Small Mouth" can be a way of introducing 
a person to anime.  Someone suggested some domestication questions 
like the issue of honorifics and Japanese terms in subs or dubs.

I'll try to remember these for next year.  Keep those suggestions
coming.
