>   No offense, but you really should make the survey a little bit more accessable to people than just handing out an excel spreadsheet and hoping that people send it back to you.  Find someone with the knowhow and a little bit of elbow grease to make it and you'll have alot more realistic and accurate information.  

Jesus people, all he did was ask for people to participate in the survey
if they wanted to. He didn't ask for personal and political opinions of
the method of the servey. If you aren't interested, simply say nothing
at all, don't whine about the format and give feedback about what is in
your opinion a better method. If you are interested in completing the
survey then there should be no problem in sending him the completed
servey.

Perhaps creating an online survey it more trouble then it is worth,
maybe he has no public webspace, database or the like, this is most
likely the most convenient method for him and fits into his existing
mechanisms for his work.

Stop being so chauvinist and rude. People like you are what slows the
addoption of linux and other worthwhile endevours.

This message was not neccessarily aimed at the message i replied to but
