I pretty much agree with Craig here; no bad intent is needed by
anyone in the process and yet it can very easily become a nasty
argument. It seems to be the nature of email/group communications.
Survey questions (and what Ron was suggesting is essentially a
survey) are very difficult to write in such a way as to *elicit
opinions* rather than *agreement with implied opinion in the question*.
1) Have you stopped beating your spouse yet?
2) Do you agree that we must always fight against stopping <foo>
being prevented, if indeed it not happening caused nothing to not be
undoably redone?
3) Why? Explain in 750 words, double spaced on unlined paper. In
green crayon.
