I only focused on the one question that afew used in his letter, as posted below. you make many good points, which should form the core of our own "position paper", but that should be a different document than the one draftged by afew, i think (unless we manage to build up something clean quickly)

D'oh, I misread your comment (must have taken "they" to mean all the questions).

That's an important point, Jérôme : this is not a position paper and we shouldn't (imo) get into too much discussion of the actual options offered or conspicuously not. (Though I'll come back to that). What I tried to do here was make a reasonably concise complaint about procedure: that the questionnaire is restrictive or manipulative in putting the answers into the questions.

However, it's true that the conspicuous absence of other options is a point that could and no doubt should be made. It's allied to the point I made about the second option in the featured Q.1 -- there is another option there, but it goes against the pre-determined sense of the question, so it goes against logic to choose it.
