James Lenze posted the results of his survey of what platforms
list participants use. As with other surveys occasionally
reported here, the sample was self-selecting. It's important
to keep in mind that one can draw no conclusions from such
a sample: the respondents represent those who responded, and
we have no idea how well they represent the larger population
we're interested in.

In other words, the results of a self-selecting survey are
meaningless.
