You keep repeating this claim as if repeating it endlessly makes it
true, it's not. Politicians pay attention to VOTERS. There are quite
a number of ex-legislators in Pennsylvania (USA) that made the mistake
of ignoring the voters.
My employer has no axe to grind, in fact we stay in business by being
totally unbiased and accurately reporting the views of those who choose to
talk to us. Because of our reputation, governments and corporations adjust
their policies and procedures in response to the information we provide.
They would not do so if we simply echoed the views of our management. They
do so because we consistently prove that our results accurately reflect the
opinions of the population.
Oh yeah, like I really believe this. The _first_ question I always ask
about a poll is who paid for it. Most of the time this is sufficient
to predict the results.
Achieving such accuracy requires a complex sampling methodology which is
strictly enforced. Our staff are often frustrated by the difficulty of
obtaining proportional representation by age group, sex and location, but
they understand the necessity of remaining professional and not influencing
their respondents.
So, I care why?
I foolishly joined this newsgroup with the expectation that I would find the
same professionalism that I have experienced in my involvement with many
other newsgroups over the last 15 years. Instead, I have received more abuse
tonight than in the average decade, from people who give me the distinct
impression that they wouldn't know a modem from a mouse.
And you and your industry are thoroughly ethically challenged. I DO NOT
WANT YOUR DAMN PHONE CALLS! Is that plain enough for you? I don't care
about your alleged "professionalism" or your alleged role in policy
making.
I am thoroughly disgusted with the lot of you and you should hang your heads
in shame. You have made a mockery of this corner of Usenet. I will not name
the groups that remain professional, from fear that you would pollute them
too.
You're a fine one to talk, working for a company that disturbs people
and expects to invade their privacy as part of its business.
