If you are not comfortable participating in a survey, then it is not an overreaction to refuse to do so. Personally, I enjoy participating and even trying to figure out on my own who is paying for the survey.

It’s also been interesting to see the progress of what kind of calls we get. It all started with the radio station ratings calls. Then products and stores (Giant vs. Safeway; fast food restaurants, familiarity with foreign media – I think that one was for BBC America). Then the political surveys, starting with local and state candidates and issues and ending up with some of the well-known national polls.
