This may be a amusing game, but I hope you don't pretend get any
scientific result from such "survey".
One of the most important thing in stadistics is a random sample. The
only thing you will get is
"The x% of people that have read, and decided to spend some time
answering this survey say..."
The real result of this survey is
In a sample of comp.lang.ada:
don't know/don't answer/have't read 99.99%
Result A 0.005%
Result B 0.005%
The American Psychological Association must be an amateur association
if they accept a web survey. If they are serious, don't present it,
they will laught at you.
