This is the orginal DOOM survey post, reprinted here in its original, unedited, uncorrected condition. I dropped the last two questions from the results page as they really didn't have anything at all to do with DOOM and I can't fathom why I bothered to ask them. From: rrward@netcom.com (Richard Ward)
Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action
Subject: DOOM Survey (I'm nosey)
Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest)

Okay, I've got nothing better to do, so I'd thought I'd whip up a little
survey of my fellow DOOM players. Please respond via e-mail ('R' instead
of 'F'). I will post the results of this survey on Sunday, Feb 6, 1994,
and again on sunday, Feb 13, 1994 if more replies come in after the 6th.
Respondents to this survey will be kept anonymous.
