Sometime in early 2000, I decided I was watching too much television, so I just stopped, completely. I was actively avoiding watching any television. I was a few months into that when I got my one and only invitation to be a Nielsen person. I told them in advance that I gave up watching television a few months before, and I didn't plan on watching anything in the near future. They said sure, that was fine. So I got a log book and, of course, at the end of each month or whatever, I wrote 0,0,0... everywhere. After six months, I was not renewed as a Nielsen person. :-) I did watch election night 2000 and the whole hanging chad period, and eventually I was watching some again.
