[Radix] Re: Warning concerning 2009 UCAR Community Survey!

[Marla Petal]

Dear Ben,

It might just possible have some impact by skipping the questions and  
registering objector status and reasons on the last page of the survey  
under "comments"...
Somehow it would be good to make sure that the boycottee knows that it  
is being boycotted... If we knew how many people registered their  
objections, then we could monitor the outcome of their survey and try  
to hold them accountable at least for recording the conscientious  
objectors...

Taking a cue from today's news headlines... 5 people responsible for  
the collapse of the school building in Molise that killed a classroom  
full of children in 2002 were just today found guilty...
