Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You MUST purchase during the pre-order.

Umm, that makes it the order period, doesn't it?

Wow. Do you have any data on how many are Buffistas and how many bronzers?

Yup.

Buffistas: 124
Bronzers: 112
Both: 19
Other: 299

Oh, DX, gotta go being all technical on me!

Other: 299

So more "Other" than both Buffistas and Bronzers combined. Do you have already any idea how many different "Others" you had?

No, not really. I haven't had a good chance to sit down and start looking at the comments closely, etc.

I'm not surprised that it ended up being that way, since the way we spread news of the survey was through LJ and blogs. I'm thrilled with the response, though...and actually a little overwhelmed. I had hoped to get about 50 of each category, and thought I'd get more like 30. So, my cup runneth over.

VW, re: the other category, I know I also marked other because I've been a member of several other online communities in addition to Buffistas.

The numbers are so cool though!

hi Nilly!

Happy birthday, ChiKat!

I wonder how many people got to the survey from whrere, how the information propogated. A few hundreds nodes is a relatively small sample for the usual analysis I do on networks, but I'm interested in the topological structure of it, and the time it took for it to propogate to the different parts of the network of people who answered.

So, um, yeah, I'm a geek, what else is new?

Oh, wow. I guess your topic is even more interesting to people than even you thought, then, ha?

Do you have already in mind the questions you want to check with this data? Am I nagging you with too many questions?

[Edit: Kat! Another nice lady I haven't posted with for too long! You're up early! How are you doing? Is this semester crazy, as well?]

Nilly, this semester is worse than usual. Between teaching full time, grad school, and teaching writing methods at a local university, I'm sort of swamped.

I did ask how each person found out about the survey, so I'm sure I'll get some answers from that.

So, um, yeah, I'm a geek, what else is new?

Hee!

Do you have already in mind the questions you want to check with this data?

Primarily I'll be looking at what kinds of needs are/were filled by these online communities, and are they similar or different between the Bronze and the Buffistas. There are other things too, of course, but that's the big one.

Am I nagging you with too many questions?

Nope. It's fun to see other people excited about the project too.

ETA: Holy cow, Kat! That is a really busy schedule!
