Danyel You could try PC User Groups. APCUG (The Association of Personal Computer User Groups) has a list of groups on their website at http://www.apcug.org/index.shtm. I'm a member of the Melbourne PC User Group, the second largest PC User Group, and I'm happy to let our newsgroup know about your survey. Email me off-list if you want me to do so.

First, thanks to all for a great conference. I had a marvelous time meeting a lot of people, and look forward to future conferences.
I'm currently working on a survey of email accounts. I've spent some time writing a series of questions that ask users how many accounts they maintain, and for what purposes. It's a brief survey, under ten minutes.
But now (as always), I need to find a sample population. The first temptation is to spam some mailing list somewhere: after all, mailing list users are likely to maintain multiple accounts, and so the sample would be broad.
But I wouldn't want to get spammed myself, and I don't think anyone else does, either. So I'm looking for other good sources of subject pools. Where do you find sets of internet users?
