HI Kimo,

Yes, that's a great help. I also got some comments off the list. I  
think what I'm asking for is as you say "fairly straightforward forms  
work." I'm going to create the storyboard before I do anything more.    
It's not my intention to do any detailed sociological analysis, though  
I should capture the data in case there's something interesting.  The  
questionnaire if for users, and is a service to them. It will also be  
a reason to come to the blog site.

Thanks

Annamarie Pluhar
