Would you like to add any other comments? If so please use this text area:
If you feel comfortable, please consider giving me your name so that I may group ‘named’ results under a more reliable set of data in case people play around with the survey. I’ll release survey results as a chart, but will never release the names. I’ll release one chart showing all the collected data, names or no names. I will also release a chart showing all the collected data just by people who gave their names to see if there is any deviation between the two, so you can still stay involved in this and not give me your name:
If you’d like to be notified of the results at the end of this survey, please give me your email address here for notification:
If you are not participating in this survey, but would like to find out about the results, please don’t fill out just your email and send the survey (all those blank results confuse things), but consider instead signing up for the general sitewide newsletter here at tobiasbuckell.com. I’ll announce the results of this project on it, and if you really don’t like being subscribed to it after that, you’re more than welcome to unsubscribe from it. -tb
