Apparently "in the coming days" means more than a month.

Perhaps they are just pilot testing their survey questions to make 
sure that they are sound from a social science perspective.

or

Perhaps they are just busy. Still, it seems a bit disingenuous to 
promise the release of a survey and then withhold said survey. At 
least an update wsa warranted. There might be people that actually 
cared about giving feedback.

or

Perhaps all this talk about the survey was lip service designed to 
shut people up, and now that the complaints have receded, status quo 
can be restored.


In any case, just a reminder that until that survey comes.. TRASH does 
not care about black people. (Awkward silence from Mike Myers).
