I'm talking with them now to see if they would share their report 
with the SIG -- Ernest Adams sent a few of us an email to point out 
the article as well.

Yes, some of the numbers are suspect but the important thing, in my 
mind, is that they are doing SOMETHING at least to help out the 
cause! So once we can go through their report then we can come up 
with plan for improving their survey or data conclusions.

Anyway, the recent flurry of activity is great!
