Dear Dave, I have changed the preference page in order to meet these requests. I created two new pages to collect data about contacts and availability. In the preference page, over the links, it is now indicated that these personal data are not compulsory. In this way, the preference page will no more become so long due to data about contacts and availability precedently inserted by the user, and the forms not necessary are not disclosed. About general personal data, I decided to leave its original form in the preference page, because it has fixed size and refer to general information, but I put an explicit indication that they are discretionary. Please, let me know what do you think about these modifications. Thanks, Simone
