If you don’t have clear ideas of sections you regularly love or hate, then you’d be at a disadvantage in responding to the survey–and that’s OK. It’s actually a useful comment.

Looks like I’ll wind up with 39 responses, and that’s enough to be useful. (Not statistically meaningful, but I never anticipated statistical meaningfulness…)

But unfortunately, I had no clear picture in my mind based on the sections. As in, I of course knew what the sections were, and vaguely, their focus. But I would be completely unable to state much definitely about them, or map reactions to the specific sections. I could do it if I had gone back and re-read old issues and taken note of the sections. But not off the top of my head.

I sometimes get phone surveys, and I try to answer them, since I know the people doing it get paid for responses. But I shudder to think about whoever is actually using that data (“Umm, never heard of them … argh, no idea … maybe, can’t say …).
