Surveys like this say nothing about readership opinion--they are just surveys, nothing more. Thus we don't really know what "the" Guardian readers think. In fact, if some Critical Mass participants engaged in the magazine survey equivalent of "corking" by doing a little ballot stuffing, I doubt we would ever know it. One should take surveys like these with a huge grain of salt. Mike
