Thanks for your reply. I'll have to put some more thought into
how to reach the appropriate individuals in the firms I contact.
And as for the questionnaire, I got off-list replies from several
other kind folks who volunteered, so here it is. The form leaves
only a small space for answers, so they're not expecting
paragraphs of information - even "yes" or "no" answers are
acceptable. But feel free to answer as you like!
