We agree to disagree here, & that's not a bad thing.

Look at it from the Author's point of view.
He may be creating the next Cheesbase or Tigger.
How does he know what the marketplace wants?
The survey may be Great or Crap that doesn't matter, it is the feedback that he
gets that matters.

Your comments may help this Author & others to create better Surveys.
All the replys he gets may stop the Author from working on "mentoring" and cause
him to concentrate on "analysis" features.

Note also that the Authors spouse is conducting the survey, & that she has used
an "Internet Survey Company" to help create the survey.

I think these are all positive steps that deserve encouragement.

Better than fully creating a program, showing it to the market, and the market
says, "but I want this, I don't want that".

gotta go,
Summertime's for cycling!
