This regular query never made it to the FAQ-O-Matic I see. A proposal, I'll put together a survey form (sample follows) and ask the list for submissions.
After a period I'll summarize the data, hopefully in a table of some form and submit it to the F-O-M. So, two questions: 1. Is the survey desired or frowned upon? 2. Is the data asked for, and the wording of the form suitable? On or Off-list opinions gratefully accepted.
