Ray Martin queries: > P.S. I pose a question to you on the list? What is the potential for > graphic surveys relative to text-based? ===================== I would say good and increasing. I base this on reported decreasing literacy trends in the general population in the U.S. for all of the usual reasons. An apparent cultural shift from left-brained logical thinking as a preferred or dominant mode to a greater role for right-brained thinking which places importance on images among other things. Also anything (Pareto charts, control charts, flowcharts) that uses both sides of the brain to process info is going to have a better chance at communicating. I had forgotten how, er, uhh, . . . "over styled" the Edsel was. The graphic allowed me to make my "$0/No " . response all that much quicker. << All opinions, statements, &c are my own>> L.H. Garlinghouse, C.Q.E. Pocahontas AR U.S.A.
