Ya know that's interesting, because a number of years ago my
mother-in-law was approached by Arbitron to participate in the book, even
after she told them that I was in Boston radio the people at Arbitron
said there was no conflict and they were in the process of sending her a
book when I mentioned it to my boss who complained to Arbitron.  It makes
you wonder how many times per survey something like this happens that
goes unreported and unfairly sways the results.
