I will second @kat on this. How other freelancers obtain
new business is of interest to me.

"You sent this to a listserv for Technical Writers. We don't make cold
calls. Please keep your postings relevant or try being a Lurker only."

Who doesn't make cold calls? You mean you never sent a resume to company you
_really_ wanted to work for even if they hadn't posted a job opening? Or
approached a contract broker who wasn't actively recruiting?
And, since there have been threads discussing other aspects of the technical
writing business, it seems unfair to flame someone for starting a similar
thread.
Personally, I find the subject of the survey fascinating. I think other
freelance technical writers would also like to see a summary of the results.
