| Eeah | N/A | posted 3-Mar-2000 11:01am Supplicant.. I understand.. I have the habit of not putting things in caps after awhile. I saw those while I was making it and thought I'd go back and fix it. Well- I guess I forgot. It kind of bugs me too. |
| supplicant | reasonable | posted 3-Mar-2000 10:51am I personally would have liked it to be even smaller, however it's not my survey and I agree with you about a lot of the options being important (hence the reasonable vote this time).If this gets held up again a few things you could fix: on one option you have "*Itch*" then on the next "*itch*" and a couple options have "i" where it should be "I" Couple of those things that look better if consistent and correct but don't really matter  |
| ILJ | reasonable | posted 3-Mar-2000 9:00am I don't know if it's reasonable or not, but I'm so glad to see that ridiculous cosmetics marketing survey die that I'm feeling gleefully charitable this morning. |

| Eeah | old | posted 3-Mar-2000 1:03am Alright. I just did a bit of work on this survey. I tried to take a few of the options off. I realize I still have a lot of options on this survey. I did this because a lot of these answers matter, and I don't think the survey would be complete with out them. I did not add on sinatra's idea because that has to do with Alcoholism. That's a different matter and a whole other survey. |

| Sinatra | old | posted 2-Mar-2000 11:37pm I would like an option "I drink myself into a stupor and then feel the pain the next day over and over and over again even though I tell myself I will never drink again"" |

| phi | old | posted 2-Mar-2000 11:47am I agree with supplicant that the options should be in a slightly different order. |
| natsim | old | posted 2-Mar-2000 9:00am would someone find this offensive? |
| supplicant | old | posted 2-Mar-2000 8:26am Sorry but I think this could use an edit and a bit of simplification - it's a good topic and there's some good options but as ILJ said people just aren't going to bother going through it all - it'll turn people away from what could otherwise be an interesting topic.The options double a little bit and they're not all properly grouped. Maybe it should be split into a couple surveys? (though probably not). You can try and convince me to vote it reasonable if you want, you might make me come round, but it really needs an edit at the moment in my opinion. Comprehensive is good, daunting is not. |

| ILJ | old | posted 2-Mar-2000 1:13am I guess it's reasonable, but no way in hell am I going through all these options once the survey is cleared. I feel a Hide coming on. |
