Agreed that it isn't a problem if it is a student. I've had problems where it appeared to be a competitor to TE. I had problems where it was a vendor who collected data, but said, "come to my site with lots of hoops you must jump through to see the results". I just felt that case was rude not their request for information.

But, I'm a statistics freak, so I love the odd collection of surveys that come through now and then.

And, I don't miss the irony that the sort-of survey posted by Running Mommy is probably for a Giant rep (????) and I've only seen one response for Giant as the bike brand. Only goes to show that TE is an independent crowd and will always participate on TE rules, not someone else's.

Heck, a common thread on TE is that women cyclists are an unheard from, unlistened to group. We can't say that and then say, you can't use this wonderfully gathered group of women cyclists as a sounding board even if you play by the rules, can we?
