>I see -- you had no choice but to start this thread. A novel defense. In any case, you have my feedback and my vote.

I'm not sure to which thread you are referring. If it is in regards to the User Groups thread about what is happening in MS regional offices and such, its main topic had make the thread evolve to come up with this suggestion. I mentioned it and it was backed up by several members who also wanted to have such survey. If it is about this thread, then, it's just a thread to inform members as there is still a certain percentage of members who bypass the main page with automated procedures and they might have missed it. We do not start a thread for all announcements either. Some are scoped to this attention when we believe it is appropriate to do so.
