4. Who is it geared to?
I agree with MrModerate and have, in the past, said something similar.

I wholly respect your tenacity and intellect, as you're way over my head with respect to statistical analysis. Put to good, industrious use I'm sure the data could prove foundational in a larger movement.

But if you're not directing its use to "normal" people (i.e. those like me and MrModerate) who is using it or what are you doing with it? That's not meant to sound confrontational - I'm genuinely curious as to how the findings are being dissemintated to those who *can* understand, and more importantly, use it.

Not to put words in MrModerate's mouth, but I think both of us have the same problem and related query: We'd like to understand this, even at a basic level, but there's no context in which the data is described, or summarized for us statistically-retarded citizens. Will it be at some point? Could it be, or is it just too complicated and intertwined with "specialized knowledge"?

Cordially,
MostlyLurks
