Absolutely.
In hindsight, we did not articulate it well. The funny thing is, we had a
very heated debate about how to approach this, and I was quite happy with
our final approach - but, since that was so long ago, we forgot to mention
it in the announcement.
We are *very* sensitive to touching your end users. We *know* that is one
of the reasons many partners are with us.

The *exact* details have not yet been worked out. We would likely promote
the survey by advertising a big prize. I hope y'all know that we would not
use UCE, nor would we target our customer base's customers base.
We *may* ask RSPs to (optionally) help promote it.
As previously stated, a big part of the value is finding out why people go
with other services, and passing that info along to you.
