    Came here to say the same as Charles, would love to self select for a long form… which means that people like you and I would be over-represented!

    Quite a pickle.

      Yeah you hit the problem on the head. Giving people the choice would break the survey methodology and invalidate the results. Random selection is the only way to ensure that respondents provide representative answers for the population.
