It has been an active week in terms of collecting and presenting survey data. Now that some time has passed, the time seems right to close previous polls and also to put forth an opinion on the Name Recognition, Influence and Age Groups in the Online (French) Horn Community Report.
Specifically I would like to address something I am calling the Park Effect – more on that later after the two reports.
First, two long-running Horn Matters polls have been closed in the last 48 hours. All their data has been converted into similar PDF reports and they are embedded below. Now that I have gotten a good test run of survey and statistics reporting, you can be sure that more surveys and studies like these will be coming in the future.

Expected biases
When putting together the Who’s Who in Your Horn Universe survey, certain results were expected. Specifically:
- Most participants would be from the USA
- Some names would score very highly
- The majority of participants would fall into the 40+ age group
And for the most part these expectations turned out to be correct.
