Subject:      questionaire results

Thank you all for your participation and your patience.  145 list
members responded to the questionaire.  As expected, there were a
few people who had a hard time categorizing themselves with the
crude choices available; apologies to these folks.  I hope you'll
all find the results interesting nonetheless.

Below you'll find a copy of the questionaire, along with
univariate tabulations for each question.  The frequency (#) and
percentage (%) of respondents selecting each response are listed
to the right of the reponse.

This simple information is all I wanted in the first place.  I'll
append the data as well, in case anyone is interested in cross-
tabulating to explore relationships across questions.

Thanks again, everyone!
