Paul's point is that if you're only asking usenet, you'll get a ver
specific subset of the IT community. Usenet users are hardly indicative

In order to get a better sample size/distribution, you'd have to
show that you're getting a proper cross section of the area
of society you're trying to survey, in this case the IT field.

Now exactly how to do that, I have no idea. I slept through
those sociology classes.
