| That number sounds low. Asking the other 40%, why would that NOT
| turn you off?

      | material in general. The latter would be unreasonable.

    | job?" and "Are you OK with your internet access being
    | censored?". I would guess that most are replying to the
    | latter interpretation, even though StackOverflow was probably
    | attempting to gauge their own importance.
