JH: Thanks for the apology. But instead of analyzing what was said, or what should have been said, I'd rather just go on from here.

Maybe I should explain a little more where I'm coming from. My first reaction to the survey/questionnaire/whatever-you-want-to-call-it was very positive. I sent e-mails to lots of my friends telling them about the site, recommending it to them, hoping they will take the survey, too, so that later we can compare scores. I haven't received any replies from them yet.

Your negative reaction to the site surprised me. I just wanted to understand a little better why you found it objectionable. I didn't mean to put you on the defensive (if that's what I did). Maybe, in the back of my mind, I was wondering if I did the right thing when I recommended the site to my friends. Maybe they will react negatively, too.

I still don't feel like I have a good grip on why you didn't like the survey. If you feel like explaining a little more, you will have my attention.
