Um, excuse me if I step on any toes. What is the reason for collecting this information? Some of it is pretty personal. Am I to assume that responding to the survey will make my annual income, marital status, Internet habits, and level of education available to anyone who cares to know them - for whatever purpose? I am owned by two ferrets and we love each other very much. That's all that matters as far as this list is concerned. Anyone who wishes to know more about me can write to me personally, read my previous letters that have been posted here, or visit my web page. I'm sorry, but this survey reads too much like a loan application. I'd very much like to know to what purpose this infomation will be put before I respond. Until that happens, you may consider my reply to be "yes" to all of the questions. In some cases, it's "heck yes." Perhaps I'm missing the point? Please correct me if I am - but be nice in doing so.
