The german version looks somewhat nicer, but I didn't want to correct it again. It should be good enough to look at it anyway

Regards & Thx,

Heh - I'm not suprised at the differences in the German vs American responses at all. I did however find it interesting that "international" responses seemed to be between both of them for all the questions as a whole. I'd be interested to get a French column added to that too Any guesses on how they'd answer?

Thanks

Well, I am
Actually, I expected the difference to be even bigger. But this way it looks OK. Many Americans have a different opinion, but they're in no way insane or whatever. That's one point I wanted to proof.
The French? Sadly there were none of them participating. I guess they'll answer a bit different than the Germans.
