While they have posted statistics, there is no solid evidence of a control group in this study. In order to have that, we would have to have represented, in a real survey, the education level that we possess to even enter letsrun.com. Those survey results would then have to be furnished to the company, say "quantcast.com," after which, a valid study would be conducted.

There is no evidence of any of this. If, in fact, the study is comprised of myopic web-searchers who look for the words like "college," "educated," and "degree," then the study is just, to digress entirely, crap.

As educated people, we know that this study represents nothing except the depravity and desperation for news and information that plagues this current society.

Stop it. You're making too much sense, especially the last paragraph.

I am little shocked that 15%+ of the traffic isn't from high schoolers. Does that ranking exclude people under 18?

It probably counts their parents, who pay for the family wifi or whatever. Impossible to know who's actually using the computer.

We are making strides, but can we at least pass Salon? Good grief!

You're right we need goals, got to strive to get in the top 10. Starting tomorrow highschoolers will be redirected to a new site. They're bringing down our average.

It makes a lot of sense that this site is highly educated. Sure there are some stupid comments on the forums, but there are a ton of really insightful and witty comments. Running to begin with is an upper income sport and income correlates with education. People who like to talk about running are likely to be even more educated in my opinion.

Oh yeah wejo, way to go buddy. I thuoght letsrun was a sight where people cared a little more about teling than spelling, but i guess this is a place where posters are just looking to flash there expensive degrees. if i wanted to pay two hundred grand for apiece of paper i would buy honus wagners baseball card. just go ahead and keep pating yourselfs on the back for being rich and 'educated.' guess what wejo, the school of hardnocks is free

No wonder the world is so totally screwed up.

Not enough of them.

2 of the top 25 listed are local newspapers in Utah. Are Utahns really that highly educated? This list seems like BS to me.

BTW I live in Utah, so I'm not just trying to bash the state.

You really don't get enough credit for your comic relief. Well done!

How did they measure this? I never got asked a survey question or anything.

Of one of the uneducated visitors of this site, I actually read the new terms and conditions before I press ok anywhere on the internet and have noticed that all my private information is routinely sold to third parties...

Wejo's IQ >>> Rojo's IQ

"LetsRun.com audience is one of the 25 most educated" is a statistical error. Education Georg, who lives in a cave and earn 1,000 advanced degrees a day while running 100 miles a week, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

How did they get this info, though? Like just from what we post?

Interesting list. I post on one of the other sports forums also...golfwrx.com.

Many impressive posters there but laughable paranoia and group-think lately. It's like they are desperate to pat themselves on the back and pretend the mainstream media is evil and incompetent. Even in completely unrelated threads they'll throw in that theme at least every 4 or 5 posts, just to make themselves feel better. Politics is supposedly not allowed on that site but since the administrators lean one way they allow persistent slippage from that side while condemning anything the other way. White male disease.

Difficult not to laugh. The site and posters are a lot more fragile than the clubs they debate.

Ban jamin and Top 15 is a lock.

I'm not convinced of the validity given that on the old dude's top 25 ranking, "viral-kittens.com" made it to #22.

Must be old ladies.

Why isn't WrestleCrap.Com in the list?

The phrase "anomaly of success" comes to mind somehow.
