other non-russ people: i'm bored, so i figured i'd send you this survey. you may or may not care, but ...
list: i'm not sure if russ wanted people to post this to the list, or if anyone did, but i kinda think it's a good idea. things like this, no matter how cheesy you feel they are, are a really good way to get everyone to try to like and respect each other and find similarities and blah blah blah when it comes to mailing lists. (besides, all the people on the dinosaur jr. list did one too! and we wanna be better than the dinosaur jr. list, don't we?!?) and if no one else does this, brad will be the idiot who did. also, it's not this'll interrupt mind boggling conversations about modest mouse anyways...
