Actually I was contacted -- by mail. Got the dollar bill and
everything. But when I told them it wasn't my primary phone number
they lost interest.

Original contact is made by pone, not mail. So you are lying or changing the
order of things.

They also sent the dollar bill and contact information to the water
system's billing address. The water association got a big laugh over
it.

Arbitron does not recruit by mail. Ever.

Don't tell me I wasn't contacted when I was. Once again it shows you
to be in a bubble of unreality.

I just checked with a person at Arbitron. The MRC approved methodology is
phone contact followed by mailing of a BOX with the diary in it along with
the incentive, phone confirmation of receipt, phone follow up after day 1,
phone follow up after weekend, phone follow-up on Thursday for completion
and mail-back.
