What do you mean? All you need is some random link to a random survey URL. The fact that the survey doesn't mention anything about the product in question, the type of issue addressed, what type of response he was given, or anything else actually pertaining to his situation is totally irrelevant. As is the fact that the survey won't be read by anyone. ;) Daniel T. Staal --------------------------------------------------------------- This email copyright the author.
