On the other hand, I think that precisely for that reason it helps to mention that beyond the top 10 or so, the number of votes per blog is so small as to not be statistically significant.<BR/><BR/>I linked to the original survey and I did quite well (for me, at least). It's hard to say if I hadn't linked if anyone would have remembered to vote for me. Or even how many of Farkas's regular readers are regular readers of CoaSL. I'm not sure how much our readerships overlap even though hers is probably orders of magnitude larger.<BR/><BR/>Three votes could easily be my mother, sister and wife (although I'm 99% sure none of them voted ;-).John Dupuishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829396649299444557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3831412.post-81175043944002228872007-10-03T13:02:00.000-04:002007-10-03T13:02:00.000-04:00I think talking about sample size and numbers are ...I think talking about sample size and numbers are really not appropriate for this particular survey.<BR/>Personally, I'm tickled pink that I'm in someone's top three.<BR/>I think that some people didn't vote because they couldn't decide their top three -- it would have been an entirely different survey if there had been a list to pick from.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104847732663970352noreply@blogger.com
