Saying something on a forum is not publishing it.

If and when you publish this claim I will gladly do so.

Good luck with your endeavor!
You are confusing "published" with "verified" I have published my survey results, the same as Gallup. As to independent verification? Well, first, who has independently verified Gallup's data? I will respond with my answer as soon as you provide theirs.

While I am waiting on Cry, it's clear to anyone who knows/has visited WV that Charleston is far and away the most "big city" like and cosmopolitan area of WV. Morgantown is a quaint college town, and worth visiting, but is no where near comparison to the Capital City.

If you mean announced yes, you did.

That is not being published or used by any organization like Gallup. However we can leave it that you acknowledge Gallup is right because you cant refute it and you can tell people about your 'survey'.



I am sure you will be taken very seriously.

Maybe you should make a separate topic though as this topic is about how Charleston and Huntington are the unhappiest and most depressed cities in the US.

No, im not going to bother. Feel free to make that claim.

However, I do ask you make your own thread. This thread is about how Charleston and Huntington are the most unhappiest and depressed cities in the US.

No, you are grossly mistaken. If Charleston is the unhappiest, depressed city, then my data proves scientifically that Morgantown is 3 times more unhappy and depressed than Charleston, as more than 3 out of 4 Charlestonians would rather be in Charleston v. Motown. (Motown was not rated, as it's a small village and not a city)

Once you prove Gallup wrong you can make that claim.

Your announcement is irrelevant to Gallup.

I have no gripe with Gallup. Motown is 3 times more depressing than the most depressing metro area in the country. Motown is a small village and therefore did not get it's own personal Gallup "score"

If you have proof that Gallup is wrong please show us.

I just told you I have no gripe with Gallup. My scientific survey shows that 3 out of 4 of the residents of the most miserable city in America would rather live in Charleston than Morgantown. Now to be fair, Morgantown, as a small hamlet, did not rate a survey result in Gallup, but based on my scientific data, Charleston is more desirable, 3 to 1, versus Morgantown. That would leave Morgantown 3 times worse than the "the most depressing city" in America.

RVA this thread is about how Gallup found Charleston and Huntington to be the unhappiest and most depressed cities in the US. This thread is for discussing that and nothing more. I am glad you acknowledge that Gallup is now right.

If you want to dispute Gallup feel free to show where and how they were wrong using actual statistics.

Your 'survey' is unrelated and off topic. Make your own thread if you want to discuss it. Gallup's statistics stand until you can disprove them.
