The cautionary statement about Erlang said that the high response rate
was because "an influential member of the community" (Joe) posted it
to the mailing list. So what is wrong with that? We didn't all get
together to decide on the answers before participating in the survey!
They themselves tried to give the survey as much publicity as they
could.

Anyway, it shows that the community is hungry for publicity :-)
