Donno if it s a good guage of that. I don't have a degree, but I've go to the academic track panels. Though it still might be part of thier logic behind the question.

it was in the general demographic section, so i'm used to their being a how edumacated q in that part of these things.

my wtf was, quite simply, no option for those who did not finish high school.

Or for people who were educated in free skools, alternate schools, or homeschooling programs. I know a bunch of people who never even went to high school - or any type of school, for that matter, yet have still received an education.

So not only is there the assumption that people without education level X would not be at the con, there's also the assumption that other types of education are either also not represented, or not even really "education" at all.

Whee.

Ah ha. I missed that part. I still have to do the survey. Yeah, I'm surprised by that.
