I'd be interested to get your opinions on whether you think a member survey is a good, bad or indifferent idea. Maybe it's been suggested before?

The type of thing I was thinking about was a voluntary, confidential (and anonymous, through aggregation of the data) survey. It could be tailored to find out things like:

- basic member demographics (country, age group, years using str8 etc.)
- How and why people got into straights
- equipment used (brushes, soaps, mugs etc)

and whatever else may be of interest to members in general.

Not only could it provide useful, archiveable info for future generations, but if it were repeated, say, once every year or two, we could get a picture of how our community is changing and, hopefully, growing.

What do you think?

James.
