I'm not sure about that. I know that whenever a con comes around, I hear a lot more people saying "Gee, I wish I could go to a con" than people who actually talk about going to the the con.
It also sort of depends on how you define your population of interest. Are we talking about people who have ever looked at and enjoyed furry art, people who are regulars on MUCKs and IRC? (I'd estimate there's already close to 3000 in that category, and I still know furries who aren't on either), or what?
But, if we define the population as "Con-attending Furry Fans,' then 325 IS a a pretty decent sample. It all depends on how you phrase these things. ;o)
Speaking of phrasing, while I think the sample is pretty good, I take isue with some of the categories as presented in the results. I wish I could see the actual survey as presented.
