Adam,

Just a point of clarification... the "they" here is UT management and not the VFP Team.

Also, I take your point but must add that I really have never seen a perfectly worded/constructed survey anywhere. There is always something that I (and if not me, someone else for sure) can take issue with.

Even a poll with only a Yes/No choice for the question "Should W declare war on Iraq?" is loaded. I wouldn't participate in such a question, yet many many do (just watch the news).

cheers

If I take a survey that says, should we (1) Go to war today or (2) Put off war for a month or (3) Let W decide -- that's a sneaky little survey. It isn't even *trying* to have all the relevant choices (including, "No War", of course.)

(It is also a very good thing that the VFPdevelopers do not include W! Imagine a system in which logic worked differently depending upon your site-license.)
