Re: The bottom line is, this list is a forum for the user community, and each and every posting should offer some intrinsic value to the list audience; otherwise we would be wasting our time. I agree. My feeling is that an occasional announcement of survey availability might be useful, but I don't even want to do that if the group doesn't agree that it would add value. Any other thoughts - out there? Of course, I'm still looking for volunteers.

Alex sez: > 1) Is the list an appropriate vehicle for IPS to post survey > opportunities? Survey announcements -- *occasional* survey announcements -- yes! The preferred mechanism would be an announcement on this list that points to a survey that is located somewhere else on the web, either at the IPS web site or its surveying partners'. > 2) Is the list an appropriate vehicle for IPS to post survey > questions? I'm real hesitant on this one. This is such a wide open question that an affirmative here can open the door to, possibly, any and all ISP surveys and pitches. So I'll offer an "it depends" and reserve the final say-so on a case-by-case basis. The bottom line is, this list is a forum for the user community, and each and every posting should offer some intrinsic value to the list audience; otherwise we would be wasting our time.
