I did it, but I'd like to help write the questions for the next one..☺.

Some of them are of the order of "why do you like eating & breathing" *grin*....

John, I did it. For clarification of countries' scale and geography, if yer in the UK, check with Leadfingers, John MacKenzie, and others who have traveled internationally for Mudcat Gatherings of various sorts.

I played survey too.

re question 12 I have more than one real world community and I would say they don't meet "same" needs as online community. They are complimentary to online community.

Completed. I have to say I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, & in particular why there's the dual focus on The Session and the Mudcat Cafe. I found some of the questions very difficult to answer because of this: I've been 'on' the Mudcat for less than a year, but on The Session for 2-3 years; I currently visit The Session about once a month, the Mudcat daily; and so on. If you wanted participants to answer about their *primary* online community, you should have specified this. Conversely, if you wanted users of both to answer on both, you should have duplicated the questions.

Interesting, though. I think the key difference between online and real-world is there's much more distance and much more intimacy online - you can spill your guts with confidence, because it feels that much less 'real'. That's just my perception, though - I'll be interested to know what you come up with.

Thanks , I have completed your survey ,I did not know about thesessions, I will visit the site now and dependant on what I find I may find I will answer the survey you have no doubt posted there.

Did it!

This is interesting for me because I've been approaching Mudcat as more of a pedagogical and archival site for my own research. It's the history geek in me, I suppose!

Finished the survey.
I used to check into thesession.org once in awhile, but it is not as complete or friendly a place as Mudcat, and I've been here over 10 years.

When will you have the results?

Many thanks to all of those who have completed the survey so far. The count has just passed 400 (running roughly 60% Mudcat visitors).

I plan at this stage to leave the survey online and accessible for a month, closing it down on the 3rd of March.

I appreciate all of the various perspectives people are bringing to the survey, and will endeavour to incorporate at least the spirit of all the various contributions into my analysis, comparing these two communities.

Done........and as I often do, I agree with Bill. Some of the questions are like asking if I like breathing......actually in my case that would be farting..........

I haev finally succumbed to temptation and went to look at thesession.

Now I see why I had never heard of it - it's for Irish tunes. That comes in about zero on my interest scale, marginally above bluegrass ones.

I'm not familiar with thesession, but I intend to check it out.

Thanks for that RB... good to know. You wouldn't care to add Scottish, Appalachian and Old Timey so I can rest completely easy?

No Zen, I occasionally listen to Scottish tunes.

And VT - (1) that's not folk, it's contemporary, and (2) it's a song not a tune.

RB
John Prine (born October 10, 1946, in Maywood, Illinois) is an American country/folk singer-songwriter.

If the story told by Paradise as well as the melody not bluegrass, well it comes near enough for the definition of bluegrass I understood in the 70's when I was listening to Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels and John Prine. All playing on the bluegrass hour of the one and only radio station I could get in West Virginia.

As to it being a song and not a tune that's true.

BTW did you know that your tendancy for pedantry is hanging out? Better put that sucker away.

Done.

I note Arnie's comments about possible research in pubs & bars. This certainly happens in our neck of the woods, and strangely enough it is also John Thompson's neck of the woods (part of the year, anyway). Perhaps this clears up some questions as to "why"?

i've been offline for a couple of days, but I will be posting a summary of results sometime in March after the survey period has finished. Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. We've passed 500 responses and I particularly appreciate the extent to which people are prepared to be open about their views.
