Thanks for sharing this data with us, A. Mani! In light of our
discussions at our FAD this past weekend, this will be insightful to
look into for some of our own questions in trying to construct a survey
for our community. I will try to go through this a bit next week once
I'm finished traveling.

Thanks again for sharing, and congratulations on being published!
