I stopped donating to WBUR.
I stopped donating to WBUR. During one of their fundraisers last year, I received NINE (9) emails from them in TWO days (six the first day and three the second), asking for money and telling me how much closer to their goal they were, each time. They really expect me to drop everything as soon as they send an email, to make a donation?? A subsequent email seemed to indicate they came up short in the end. At that point, I unsubscribed from all their email lists, headlines, pleas for money, all of them. Just the other day, they sent a renewal notice. It was promptly torn up and discarded. I was only subscribed to the headlines email, but they used it for other purposes.
So you are saying....
they left you unsatisfied?
.
It's not the size of the donation, it's what you do with it.
It's a genuine shame
that apparently the statistics of donations indicate that the best source of new donations is from people who have already donated in the past. Every time - every damn time - I've given money to a good cause, that good cause has then done its best to make me hate them with an endless stream of solicitation letters, emails and calls. It's baffling. I can only assume it maximizes donations, one way or the other, or they wouldn't be doing it, but it sure doesn't work for me.
Look at the bright side...
All the junk mail is keeping the Post Office busy.
At least once a week, I get a solicitation from one specific charity, sometimes twice a week. If I give to that particular charity, it's once a year.
So, you don't listen to WBUR anymore, right?
Since you don't donate, of course you stopped listening, too - right?
The delete key is a wonderful thing. Try it sometime.
Correct.
I do not listen to WBUR anymore.
Wow, that was longer than I
Wow, that was longer than I expected. The article, I mean.
It didn't go deep enough...
...
So the article ...
Didn't make a vas deferens in your understanding of the issue?
Well
You were expecting some probing journalism?
(avoiding snow jokes because, well, ouch)
Size
So you are saying that size does matter, aren't you?
Problem
A lot of American men will just glans at that graph, not notice it's in centimeters, and come away thinking they are very inadequately sized.

All Talk
It is my personal experience that men are 'all talk' when it comes to size.. always amazes me what guys think is "large" or "ex large"
Please.. my index finger is bigger.
Anatomical measurement variation among technical staff.
a) From what anatomical point to what anatomical point are the measurements?... to what accuracy?, with what variation?
b) What would be the measurements variations for different clinical study technicians taking the measurements of the same men?...

according to
According to ChiChi LaRue (famous drag queen porn 'star')..
You always measure from the top. The base to the tip.
The underside is subjective to where to start/end.
Agree
100% in agreement. I'm too lazy to look up the metastudy and the underlying studies to see if there was any mention of where the measurements are taken. Good scientific documentation guidelines would absolutely dictate this.
On the other hand, given the number of studies involved and the fact that, regardless of potential measurement variations, they came up with a very uniformly statistically-normal distribution (Figure 2) without any blips or humps (that you might expect if large parts of the data were measured in vastly different ways), to some degree it might not matter. It's hard to say. Given that the sample size is 15,561 from 17 groups of data, discrepancies might be "hidden" in the noise.
