This has to be one of the most patently useless posts I have EVER seen on CSSDrive (spam included) and for it to have come from Nathan Beck himself has me frankly, shocked and awful! (Shock and Awwwww)

Whats wrong?
well, right off this isnt a survey of “web users” in the typical sense, unless your regular neighborhood Grandma often has similar struggles with IE6 box model, or debates (frequently) the SEO ramifications of source ordering content DIVs and other markup tweaks.
..Well, ok..lets assume that we are just ‘canvassing the choir’  and we are simply reporting a sampling of similar web professionals, but here the presentation fails. Without CONTEXT, its all just meaningless trivia, and without interactivity, its just a static list of stuff that you might almost give a shit about if it were worth giving a shit about :)
At least, they give you the source data in a CSV, however, the data collection was not as clean as it should be, for instance, there are 5 distinct values for country=United States… U.S. , US of A, United States etc etc.. before you want to drill down into the results, you probably will want to equalize the data first, manually!
...verdict. File this survey under “Meaningless pseudo- statistical fluffery”
