<VV> CORSA Members on the Internet

[Bill Hubbell]

Good luck trying to get any useful information from a survey.  You will be
lucky if you get a 10% response rate.

I believe the survey of CORSA members a couple of years ago asked about
internet usage, but I don't remember the results.  In hindsight, allowing
people to respond on the internet, probably skewed the numbers up.

P.S. my 85 year old father and my girlfriends 80 year old father are on the
net everyday

Dennis,

 

That may be, however we're still depending on generalizations and WAGs
unless a survey is undertaken. If undertaken, I think the usage percentage
may surprise CORSA's BoD. You have to keep in mind that Corvair owners are a
handy, what-the-heck-let's-try-it bunch and more likely to be internet
adopters despite ageing.

 

If the survey shows otherwise, it strengthens the argument for a
multi-tiered approach to membership dues and Communique mailings. As an
alternative, leave the dues as one flat rate, but allow those (like myself)
who don't give a whit for the printed copy of the Communique to receive it
electronically only. I save my local club postage & handling that way, as I
get the newsletter via email only at my request.
