Alright, since I proposed it, I suppose I get to do it as well. :-)

Please read this e-mail address backwards and send your responses to the
result: ku.oc.nez@43603nez

Assuming you commute within/into London,

1) what postal district (e.g. TW1, E17, etc) do you live
in?

2) if you commute by rail, what station (any railway system) is at the
'home' end of your commute?

3) what postal district do you work in?

4) if you commute by rail, what station is at the 'work' end of your
commute?

Deadline will be midnight, Sunday 12 April 2004. I shall
endeavour to post the results shortly thereafter.

You've probably spent more time making these two posts than you would
have reading my email address the right way round. :-)

So as not to fall prey to irony, however:

sepecific organisations

Breaching netiquette again and again by following up to myself... tsk,
tsk. Oh well, this isn't exactly a normal thread. :)

Anyhow - some participants have voiced concerns over what information I
plan on publishing. I assure you, I have no plans on publishing anything
other than the compiled information from your answers to my four
questions. Participation in this survey is strictly anonymous.

You're saying trolls, newsgroup spammers, and other assorted lowlifes
are planning on taking to terrorism to frighten the netnews community
into complying with their demands? :-)

If you mean more conventional terrorism, don't you think there are more
obvious ways of getting that information? The distribution of people and
commuting patterns in London is hardly top-secret information.

This survey is intended to get an idea of the locations and travel
patterns of posters/lurkers in this group, which I can't imagine is at
all representative of London commuters at large...

Seriously - oooops, I hadn't considered the possibility of commuting

Thanks for your answers.

Personally, I am inclined to trust your view on this, as thinking about it
LUL I think publish's loading figures itself anyway.

Assuming you commute within/into London,

1) what postal district (e.g. TW1, E17, etc) do you live
in?


E13

2) if you commute by rail, what station (any railway system) is at
the 'home' end of your commute?


It depends what mood I'm in and what mode of transport I'm using to get
home from the station.

If I'm riding my bike or getting a lift, or on rare occasions walking
I'll use West Ham, and it's my most frequently used station. I start
almost all my journeys there.

If I'm catching a bus I'll use Canning Town, and occasionally I'll
cycle from there. I rarely start journeys there though.

If I'm walking I'll use Plaistow. I rarely finish journeys there but if
I'm walking it's where I start them from.

3) what postal district do you work in?


I'm a student, my university is in WC2.

4) if you commute by rail, what station is at the 'work' end of
your commute?


Again it depends what mood I'm in. Lately I've been cycling from
Fenchurch Street. If I take the train the whole way I go to Holborn or
Temple, or catch a bus from Waterloo.
