Huh?  I can see why you might not want to *post* the results of your
survey, but *MAIL*?  If we on the net are going to all that trouble for
you, is it too much trouble to mail results to only those people 
( or even *machines* ) you don't know?  In spite of the fact that I know 
a couple of references which might help immensely, with that kind of attitude, 
just forget it.
