I agree and disagree. 1st) I agree that at some point you have to combine
similar answers and the scores associated with them. 2nd) I disagree that
it has to take place immediately. (ie: prior to the end-user seeing it)

I see it as a great opportunity for LEGO to gather information... Good and
Valid data. BUT, they do need to combine similar results. Someone needs to
be sitting on the backend looking for similar or exact matches and combining
them. *I don't know that they are, but I don't know that they aren't
either*
I recommend that we 'insist' that someone follow up... instead of
'insisting' that they change the survey or survey software.
(here is an interesting side-note) Isn't our discussion here somewhat
parallel to the survey results. We all basically agree, but usually have
something a little diffrent to add. Now, I guess, Jake will have to combine
our responses 8-)

| <snip> I agree with Allan and Kerry and Ben. The survey technology, while catchy and sexy and pretty to look at and all that, is, in my view, fundamentally flawed. There needs to be a way to compress similar answers together and revote or reweigh (...) (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
