I think we'll stick to an on-line survey; having people do their own
data entry and having a computer add up the numbers saves a lot of
clerical expense. We can discriminate in the survey between attendees
and non-attendees. As for the self-selection bias that Allison notes,
I'm afraid that is very hard to avoid without much more work.
