   Do people really respond to surveys because of the offered prize? It is usually one winner out of X participants, so unless the survey is really unpopular, the odds of winning would not be worth participating, IMO.

     I have no idea how many people marketing is targeting, but it is a survey about open source software. It is not something being blasted everywhere. I would say chances aren't that bad.

     @musicman Amazing. I wasn't motivated by a prize, so as soon as it asked me for contact info (!Required. You must answer this question.) I bailed.

     pretty sure that is to make sure there aren't duplicates, but I will see if we can get one without that

     What should I tell marketing your role and title is? I think they are trying to determine if it is worth taking off the email address.

     @musicman My *new* title is IT Manager. I'm mostly involved with support / helpdesk, but running the local file and print server is part of my job, too.

     I told them you worked for the government and they said "We are going to update the form so it is not required"

     I told them that before you responded...or at least before I saw the response. I think it was enough to drive the point home that people might not want to share their email :)
