SOTCAA SURVEY RESULTS Posted Mon Aug 7 18:19:18 BST 2000 by Jon

Well, it's the biggest event of the media year. Already, eager young chancers at The Guardian and The Independent are writing articles analysing the crucial SOTCAA demographic that will define creativity throughout the century.

31 entries, 6 of them mailed to me. As promised I've deleted the mails, not that there was anything that couldn't have been posted here in them.

I'm not going to bother working this out, the answers were all over place, see for yourself. I was surprised there wasn't a big vote either against 11OCS, or pro L&H. So that's 2 theories scuppered (assuming this is representative).

Again, not worth analysing in detail. 'TVGoHome' is admired by people who read it, but there is a minority who haven't taken a look. Other sites have their admirers. It's clearly a cult thing.

I think we all just took that as a given...

and write this website.

The point of this spamming is to 'out' them and their opinions and make them face the people they have anonymously attacked.

And yes, I do see the irony in doing it ironically.
