I think you'll find you can't do too many kinds of statistical analysis based (at least from my experience at least) on the amount of +1's you'll see on any given thread on Dave's. At most it can be seen as a vote, nothing more, nothing less. It can't been seen as rational thought either without some kind of explanation, hence it's pure laziness at best.

Wouldn't a statement for or against (sans explanation) actually be just as or even more valuable in a statistical analysis. Explanations are better suited for qualitative research. Voting patterns are highly discussed in quantitative research.
However, I do agree that the responses would supply too small a sample to really hold any relevance. Although, I suppose if you specified that the findings were only relevant to Dave's ESL Cafe users, you might be able to get away with the small sample size.
I don't know. I have been drinking, as it were. :/ |

I give you all my sincerest apologies, for The Front is now disbanded, I have decided to undertake the arduous task of maintaining my perfect hair, after all, there may be no god, but by jove if there is one, he has given me luscious locks (and nothing else, obviously).
I wish you all well, former Fronters, it was good while it lasted (that's what I said, not her).
Toodles, and god speed, all ye all!
this, that, yon |

Dear Leader turned out to be a phoney; leaving me all alone. I have more pressing matters though like selling my D40 Nikon camera.
I do notice a reduction in the use of +1 without a reason why; it seems like we did cause a minor Revolution. |

Unacceptable behavior the two of you. You are now both persona non grata and forced to join in the discussion about how Koreans use the term waegookin. |
