- I would like to get an informal feel for the number of readers of
- current economic statistics that are on this newsgroup. Please e-mail to
- this address answers to the following three questions:
-
- -- Do you obtain U.S. economic statistics by computer or fax on day
- of release?
-
- -- Are you employed in any capacity to analyze such numbers?
-
- -- Would you have an interest in a newsgroup that would be a forum
- for discussion of current economic statistics?
-
- On this basis I would like to assess whether a new newsgroup (
- perhaps titled sci.econ.forecast or sci.econ.stat) would be worth proposing,
- or whether it may exist somewhere else in the net. The focus of such a
- group would be decidedly less political than sci.econ is currently.
-
- Not that I mind politics; I just am looking for a new information
- source.
