<DIV>Steve, I like the survey being online. That's great! </DIV>
<DIV>I guess it is ok to ask the potential members this early. But I would make it perfectly clear in a separare paragraph with Bold letter, that <EM>this is only to figure out a price threshhold for the members in order to purchase our first plane, and these are only examples and not actual choices</EM> (or something like that).</DIV>
