I agree - I think any survey needs to have the bias assumptions up front, but that does not mean they aren't still useful to some extent, so thanks to CompleteLawnCare for posting the link!!
Case in point: this spring while I was at my Deere Dealer getting maintenance parts, I noticed they changed the name of the dealership. When I asked why, they told me they banded together with 2 other regional Deere Dealers to counteract Deere's dictating what inventory they had to stock, discount levels, etc.
i.e. - they did not like how corporate treated them, but like the product.
