Alex, only the original posting is yours--this is not a database,
nor is it a formal debating society. People are free to respond
(and not to respond) as they feel appropriate, but they owe
neither you nor I anything but whatever consideration of the
question that seems appropriate to =them=.

I understand your desire to get the information you seek, but
if you wish formal answers to a formal survey you need to hire
a formal survey company, not to ask freely-participating folks
who contribute their thoughts and conversation as appears
appropriate. Your contribution by raising the question is
also appreciated, but the question, having asked, then
belongs to the particpants of the list. It's a peer group,
not a focus group. That's the way it works.
