Hi folks,

I think I may have misjudged the contents of my first
questionnaire by including the scored Web site analysis
(perhaps too toilsome), so I'd like to submit a scaled-down
version in its place which should take only a couple of
minutes to complete.  Please copy and paste the questions
with answers added and return to [log in to unmask] --
thanks very much in advance.

Again, apologies for the intrusion -- once this is out of the way
I can return to the poetry discussions in finer fettle.

Andy
