Re: (OT) Dealing with end user paranoia

Putting up such a terminal isn't going to help. You could set it up such that it is done totally anonymously. But then, there is no way to check whether all the responses you got are from different persons, or whether all the responses came from just one person. But if you prevent this by giving people one-time keys, you will have an almost impossible task to prove that the survey cannot be tracked.

Nobody has his own computer, so any computer could be used. The key codes were printed on paper, and we shuffled them, and handed them out in random order. - Yes, I reinvent wheels. - Spam: Visit eurotraQ.	[reply]
