| zeke | N/A | posted 20-Nov-2000 7:34pm At asexybabe's suggestion, I've changed it to say "on average". This survey review process works pretty well! |
| phi | old | posted 20-Nov-2000 6:08pm I have a hard time with the survey creator's assumption that 1 date equals 1 week. |
| ASexyBabe | old | posted 20-Nov-2000 4:30pm *survey creator* if you want an average I think you should ask that in your question or explain it below your question. |
| zeke | old | posted 20-Nov-2000 3:44pm natsim and asexybabe: sure, there's a lot of variation, but what average would you recommend? |
| Zang | old | posted 20-Nov-2000 2:51pm ASEXYBABE: You have pointed out the obvious. I don't think that is what "survey creator" is looking for. There is an "other" option for those who wish to make some comment along the lines of what you state. I don't see anything wrong with this survey. If you are going to give something a "needs work" you really should offer some specific suggestions as to how to fix it. Or you could just give it an HF. |
| ASexyBabe | old | posted 20-Nov-2000 2:13pm I think the whole concept of there being one possible answer to this question is wrong. I think it depends on the relationship there is no set amount of time that anyone can say for sure. |
