Paul Tomblin, pt@geovision.gvc.com has posted a brilliant parody of
this questionaire. Seems the posting was rather wide!

Here it is:

                  Please answer these 9 questions and return.
  [Questionaire deleted]
  
  Kingsley, how about answering this one:
  
  1.) Do you know how to cross post?
  Yes, but I couldn't fit all those newsgroups on one line        [ ]
  No, but I can't be bothered to read the manuals.                [ ]
  Yes, but I'd prefer everybody to see my postings multiple times [ ]
  
  2.) Do you think about what is appropriate for a group before posting there?
  Yes, but then the urge passes                                   [ ]
  No, why should I be polite                                      [ ]
  Everybody should see my postings, so why be selective           [ ]
  
  3.) Do you expect people to answer personal questions when you don't tell
  them why you are asking?
  Yes, privacy is a foriegn concept to me.                        [ ]
  No, but I thought I'd try anyway.                               [ ]
  Your business is my business, my business is none of yours      [ ]
  
  4.) Do you enjoy seeing mocking followups to your psuedo-research efforts?
  Yes, why else would I have done this                            [ ]
  No, I thought the net had a high tolerance for stupidity        [ ]
  
  5.) Do you think others will think these questions have a political agenda?
  No, I didn't think people on the net were that perceptive       [ ]
  Yes, but who cares                                              [ ]
  
  6.) Since this questionaire is obviously not of interest to the whole world,
  do you think you should have restricted the distribution?
  Yes, but I couldn't be bothered to find out how to do it             [ ]
  No, I think people in Denmark can have a real input into US politics [ ]
  
  7.) How much money do you make in a year?
  10K-20K                           [ ]
  20K-30K                           [ ]
  30K-40K                           [ ]
  40K-50K                           [ ]
  50K-60K                           [ ]
  60K-70K                           [ ]
  70K+                              [ ]
  
  8.) Please tell me your age, sex, marital status, and last three sexual
  partners:
  _______________________________________________________________________
  _______________________________________________________________________
  _______________________________________________________________________
  _______________________________________________________________________
  _______________________________________________________________________
  
  9.) Do you know realize what you did wrong?
  Yes, but I'm not going to stop       [ ]
  No, I'm totally dense                [ ]
  Yes, I'm sorry                       [ ]
  
  I hope this gets the point across.
