Originally Posted By vbdad55 had the suspicion that we really have a small group of people talking to each other. Did this small exercise support my suspicion? ---------------- with the volume of people who visit WDW each year the answer is yes. However when A C Nielsen decides how many people are watching aprogram, how many people do they call-- a surprisingly low number... focus groups opinions are extrapolated to a larger segement all the time. If Disney is not reading here and a few other places they are missing very valuable- free information " the total number of Nielsen homes only amounts to 0.02183% of the total American television households, meaning that 99.97817% of American households have no input at all into what is actually being watched."

Do the DL folks and WDW folks generally not cross over? I am generally a WDW person, but visit DL plenty. But I suppose all of you do, as well, so what makes the *WDW general* section your "hang out" for posting? Are these 80%/5 posters the backbone of discussion?
