SURVEY:Please read, for scholastic purposes.

        Please note this message is being crossposted to a large number of groups. I am sorry for any inconvenience, but there are members of many newsgroups that I wish to reach , and this is the only way that I can accomplish this. Thank you for your understanding.

        My name is Bob Gajarsky. I am a graduate level management student, and am conducting a survey for one of my classes. It would greatly help my studies if you could take a few minutes and complete the following survey. All results will be kept completely confidential, and your e-mail addresses will not be seen by anyone but me.         

        Also, I am only looking for complete surveys from people who are actually out in the workplace as computer programmers, as opposed to those (like me) who are students. Additionally, I would request that only people who work in the United States reply to this. Thank you in advance for your responses.
