You maybe--not me.. (Score 1)

Just to clarify--I don't think it's me. Well, I don't know if I'm really watching less TV than I used to, but I'd like to point out that the 2nd article linked in this posting had a secondary article that explained things a little better. The group Nielsen is apparently casting blame upon is "DYA" or Dependant Young Adults (young folks under 18-34 still living at home). Nielsen seems to think that they are the problematic aspect of the 18-34 bracket. Not sure why that didn't make it into the NYT article..

To prove further they aren't talking about me (or a number of slashdot folks) I quote:

'Nielsen continues to exclude PVR households, as well as other "technically difficult" homes, from its sample.'

Since I'm not a dependant, they were not talking about me anyway, but since I use ReplayTV, I therefore exist outside of their sample and believe I am free of blame. [ahem]

So please don't go blaming me! Thanks :)
