COG continued: A fix should be in place shortly (today). The survey team will ensure that there is no bias in the findings for this question once the surveys are complete.

From COG: We looked into the specific question and the survey instrument accepting the responses. We regretfully acknowledge a programming error in this question. "0" should be an acceptable response. Regrettably, we missed this in our testing.

I forwarded this over to leadership at the Transportation Planning Board at COG.

Recently, I’ve been enjoying the Expanse series and the TV version, other entertaining series like Murderbot, Bobiverse, Expeditionary Force, Dungeonmaster Carl. Books by Scalzi, Tchaikovsky, Sanderson.

The list is long. In my youth, I devoured everything I could find by Asimov, Clarke, and Heinlein. Phillip K Dick and Roger Zelazny. All the classics. I estimate 10,000+ SF books.

The price could indeed be raised. UPS and FedEx have shown that they can operate a profitable delivery service. But I doubt people are willing to spend $10 to mail a letter or pay a bill.

Everyone has a physical mailing address. There is no equivalent universal system to reach everyone by email.

Not sure I fit into a particular bucket. I’m a lifelong Democrat. You can read my policy statements on my website if you’re so inclined.

Are you coming back to the Gaithersburg Book Festival?
