It serves to remind me of past conversations and why I've put you on ignore a few times. So you are free to respond of course, complete with facepalm to your hearts content, but....

Who conducts a survey is never the relevant question in determining bias and credibility. It's who commissioned it, crafted the questions, their order and wording. What their agenda and goals are. As I imagine you know.

Another thing we both know is that any unintended error such as mine with the NEA, will be pounced on to imply nefarious motives while downplaying the import of what actually has happened.

It's true that NEA has not cut ties to the ADL but its members have recommended, by a vote, to do so. That is huge and reflects the reality of what the ADL has become and what its agenda is under its current leadership which it appears a lot of people disagree with so vehemently that they're done with it. Unheard of a mere few years ago so yes, huge. And most welcome, I might add...
