Finally. First, I'd like to thank everyone who helped us, and everyone who took the survey, on behalf of Judy Ghirardelli and myself. Specifically, the crowd who listened to Judy and I argue over questions of format in group mail, and most specifically Pam Korda, Joe Shaw and Erica Sadun who helped us proofread both the Survey itself and/or the results of the Survey just a few days ago. Their proofreading and advice on format was invaluable. Also, a personal thanks to Judy for grading questions 092 and 093, which I flat out refused to grade, knowing what the answers were going to look like, and realizing that _no_ computer routine I came up with would ever handle the flood of information. You'll know why when you look at them. Also, for her help with formatting the final results. Secondly, an apology for having taken so long in producing the results of the Survey. I thought it would only take a week or two at the outside, with the routines I put together for grading. Also, an apology on behalf of Judy and myself for having created the initial debacle with questions 051 and 066, with the malformed multiple choices. You wouldn't _believe_ how many times that damned thing was proofread. Luckily, all but one person got back to me with corrected answers, so the damage was minimal. Thirdly, a partial dodge of responsibility for having taken so long in grading the survey-- obviously, my cynicism was broken when I came up with my estimates and wrote my routines. Never again. The routines I wrote worked almost perfectly for the yes-no and multiple choice answers, probably because the methods for screwing up the answers were limited. Of course, those people who (against my specific instructions) wrote out the words "undecided" have my eternal gratitude fro making my life that much more difficult. And we're not even going to talk about the impossibly large number of ways people found to mispell simple names like Gawyn and Galad. It was these mispellings that made it necessary for me to actually grade most of the Short Answer questions by hand, rather than by computer. The computer made it easier, but not by a helluva lot. I'll say this-- in the unfortunate event that I'm still at Bradley for longer than six months, this whole things stands a good chance of being done entirely over the Web, because I'll have the access needed to create a simple Web-accessed survey. (Bradley is amazingly paranoid about the degree of Web access they give people.) Penultimately, the grading methods: When in doubt, I used what worked best. Because of my vast familiarity with the vi editor and the attendant ed-style commands, I used a _lot_ of brute strength vi commands and ex scripts. I also relied heavily on grep, and resorted to perl a few times. I think I started to lose it, just a little bit, when I started using perl to generate ex scripts, rather than just using perl directly. (In the short run, it saved time, because I knew _exactly_ what I wanted for an ex script, but didn't want to spend the time to figure out how to get perl to do the same thing. I doubt it saved processor time, though.) Anyone who actually wants more details can ask directly. Finally, the stats and the format: We had, in total, 224 survey respondants. Last year, we had less than a hundred. I shudder to imagine the responses we'll get if/when we do this next year. For almost all answers, the format is given as: # votes % of votes answer So you'll have three columns. In all cases, the percentages were calculated out of 224 responses. However, for many questions, not all 224 people responded, so the number of votes doesn't add up to 224 for all questions, nor do the percentages add up to one hundred. C'est la vie. I could have changed the percent ratios for each question, but you'd have had to wait another week. I figured you wanted them ASAP, though. Notable exceptions are the ranked questions. Here, I constructed a weighted average of each score, and used that. Remember, lower numbers for the rank questions are better. Also, I bowed to external pressure, and listed all answers (aside from yes/no) in order of descending popularity. I did, however, move answers of the "No clue" or "None of the above" variety to the bottom of the pile, followed by answers that were in-jokes. (Ie, answers relating to me, my non-existant minion, Bela, or other group regulars.) The _really_ stupid answers were subject to the Central Authority Censorship. Ie, the vanload of hippies from one answer, as well as certain others, went directly into the bit bucket to wail and gnash their bits. Such is life. And now, the results. My commentary will follow later, when I get around to it. --- RAND: 1. Will Rand lose his hand? (Y/N/U) 114 50.893% Yes 78 34.821% No 31 13.839% Undecided 2.
