Glen, can we eliminate the drop down boxes on question 13 and simply have a
box that people can put an "X" in?

         I'm sorry but I still think that the drop down boxes for question 
13 are confusing and check boxes should be used instead. Question 12 asks 
that the drop down boxes be used to rank the choices 1 to 5. Ranking the 
choices in question 13 does not, I think, make sense.
