I won't answer questions for phone surveys; I wonder if the legit
survey operators are aware that the "population" they reach has
been altered?

In case someone hadn't heard yet... certain unscrupulous folks claim
to be making surveys when in fact they're filling in a credit card
application with your name, address, job and credit data, and *their*
post office box number.  You can probably guess why :-(     Don't EVER
give out job and credit information in response to a "survey".
