We are going through Alice and taking a survey.  This survey is going to be used for some editorials that we are going to write and the results will be published.  It's easy to write about things but it is good to actually find out what people really think. 

This is partly why we are asking people what they think as well as finding out some real information.  It is also good to challenge what we believe and why.

Keep looking here as we will be posting results in percentage form as we compile them as well as some of the thoughts behind where the questions actually came from.

We are doing a survey to help us in an editorial and comments we are writing for our website.  People often make statements which are interesting but is it what people really think?  We are trying to speak to a large section of our community and will post all results on the website with peoples comments.
Can you spare a few minutes to help with this survey and answer a couple of questions? 
This survey is completely anonymous and there is nothing specific or personal in relation to anyone surveyed will be posted.
