Barry: Good point. I should have been more explicit in my survey questions. I sort of meant to capture it all under "age group." Some people have pointed out their college experience. It looks like back and *** are in a dead heat for most favorite and most hated. People who like back, hate *** and vice versa. I would note that there a only a very few who hate the sprints. :)
