Hey Gary, Thanks for posting the numbers. My only note of caution is to not put too much weight on these results. Given how the question was posed you are much more likely to get responses from people who have had conflicts. This is a common phenomenon in the social sciences and why survey design is a complex science.

Olden Professor School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences University of Washington w: http://depts.washington.edu/oldenlab/ t: @oldenfish * There is a good chance that the promptness of my email response did not meet your expectations. For this, I apologize. But please consider the words of American author Edward Everett Hale: “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.”
