Surely nobody is considering our recent chit-chat to be a survey?? Not

only can an accurate dialect survey not be conducted by electronic means,

we are not a very likely target group for a survey anyway. I thought we

were simply having fun. And occasionally, out of some of the "fun" type

discussion, somebody might discover something useful of course.
