Hi Duffyka,
Although I do appreciate what you are trying to do, this is not the best way to collect data as it is somewhat biased. The people who post on these boards are primarily scientists. You want a very diverse group of people to take your survey so that your results are as accurate as possible. The thing about conducting research projects is that the results should be replicable, that is, you do not want one group you surveyed to give you different results from a second group you surveyed. If you are as diverse and as random in surveying people as possible, you will eliminate a great amount of survey and statistical bias.
