Default FAA Survey - not specifc RV related

I just received a postcard today to take a FAA survey managed by the PA Consulting Group. It states that each year the FAA conducts a survey to calculate fleet size and hours flown by the GA community. They indicated I was randomly selected.
Anybody else receive this card?
I've owned various aircraft over the years but have never been selected to take the survey.

I guess I subscribe to the "I'm from the FAA and here to help" syndrome.
I'll take the survey to determine the proper slant.

I've gotten it several times and I can think of several benefits of FAA having some actual data.

Default survey

I also got one today. I seem to get one every year. This one is for my 9A that has only 10.7 hours on it. They used to come with a long form to fill out but now they are getting uptown. Guess i'll fill it out too.

Took the survey.
Uneventful, no paranoia.
I believe they were seeking valuable info on the current equipment status of today's AC.
