We mailed over two hundred of these mainly to the UK but with a good representation to the US and Canada. The requested deadline was 15 March of this year and, sadly, so far (and with only 2 weeks to go) we have received only 15 returns. I know how difficult it can be to answer such questionnaires (and we have tried to make most of the questions easy to answer) but I would like to put out a SPECIAL PLEA for you to try to complete and return your copy. I have been asked to report on this project at the SoC Summer School in September and I would like to make that presentation as full as possible. To the people who have already responded we are very grateful. The information contained in these forms is very interesting but our results will be of considerably lower value of based on such a low response. I do appreciate that for some resaons you may find it difficult or impossible to respond to this request but please try, or email me. ALSO!!! If there are any cartographers on this list who have NOT received a copy of the questionnaire and WOULD LIKE ONE, please reply to [log in to unmask] The more responses we get the better! Thank you for your patience, Yours, Mike
