Re: survey to indicate how many people read net.movies:
This kind of data is too easily munged by the survey-takers or subjects:

"Do you read net.movies?" asks the surveyor.
The USEnetter thinks, "If I say yes, the price of Joe Bob will go up."
"No," he says...

In the real world, the price of Joe Bob is based on your circulation (among
other things), not on how many people read the movie ads in the paper; the
analogy to that here is the number of people who have ACCESS, whether they
read net.movies or not. If the site gets net.movies, each person at the
site would have to be counted.

This comes, by the way, with no sense of accuracy...
