I really beleive it is designed to help. Think again!!	mikebartnz (21)
436073	2006-03-08 12:16:00	godfather: Not only should you better 'fess up fast to Mrs godfather (as I assume you married a smart woman who'll find you out about the 15 children, let alone Bhuddism) but for heavens sake, tick the survey box for Online. Let's face it - Its percentages are looking pretty sad for a computer forum. I consider myself a newb still. And here are all these people with far more experience than me (giving advice about godknowswhatall) who've done the paper census. I thought this would be a show-the-flag for technology. Looks like I was wrong. Mikebartnz: No. Census enumerators don't "put in whatever they thought appropriate". That fits with " I met someone once" and "they said" as journalism Rule 1 - Don't Quote Vague stuff without giving Names - in Case they Don't Know What They're Talking About.	Laura (43)

Looks like I was wrong. Laura, I would have done my census online - I would have jumped at the chance... except I was not given the option when given my forms, and didn't know that I could until only a couple of days beforehand. I was quite disappointed at that :) Mike.	Mike (15)

I was quite disappointed at that :) You’re now the 2nd or 3rd person I have read about in this thread or another one I started on another forum who did not get the option to do it online.	stu161204 (123)

Or maybe she just forgot or ran out of the online packs... who knows? :) Mike.	Mike (15)
436078	2006-03-08 23:16:00	I think the census people were prob. told to ask people if they wanted a pin no so they could do it online rather than hand one out anyway, though it could have been printed on either the household or persons forms.	mark c (247)

The one I met did and I'm obviously not going to name names. You can believe me or not, it doesn't worry me.	mikebartnz (21)
