Those GVU folks seem to have no grasp of statistics whatsoever. Unless
the sample size was *vast*, 29.3% == 31.5%. An extra 257 people were
women. Do they not realise that doing the same survey twice, at the
same time, would generate that sort of difference?

Probably because a Java applet can be used with zero
programming. Unless the respondents were the sort of folks who can say
"HTML programming" with a straight face.

Yup. The first asked respondents if their browser supported forms -
using a forms interface to the questionaire ;-)
