I got that survey as an email, but when I went to supply the data asked 
on the web form, I had to fill in lots more personal info than they 
needed to do the survey before I could get to the rate cnc's page. That 
included my unlisted phone number, age, street address etc etc.

Huh?  That screamed phishing, results to be sold to a spammer just to pay 
for his time to do the survey.  TANSTAAFL principle.

So when I could not proceed, I backed out and deleted the email.  If not 
for that, and I hope the person doing the survey is reading this to see 
just how intrusive it was seen by one LCNC user with soon to be 4 
machines running it, the count in the 'for LCNC' column would have been 
one higher.  Or if counting machines, 3 higher with another under 
construction.

How many of the members of this list had the same reaction?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
