All-
It's a start. I probably have questions in here that don't mean anything, and missed stuff that should be included. Thanks to all that have responded so far- feel free to make suggestions off-list, all of you.
No hurry- I'm in the process of finishing off the GARAgehaNGER (For those who wondered what a garanger was) and moving the project up out of the mushroom patch. Knock on wood, I'll be working on the fuse mid next month.
All input appreciated.

DRAFT QUESTIONNAIRE
Okay, here goes. Nothing's set in stone; all input welcomed. Don't answer yet, let's just
get a consensus on the important points.
SETTING THE STAGE
1. Were you aware of, and did you join a builder's list before you made a final kit choice?
2. Did you post questions on the list re: your reservations concerning a potential choice?
3. Did the responses (Assuming any) have a significant effect on your final choice?
4. If "No" to the above, how long had you been building before joining?
5. How long would it take to drive to the nearest local builder of your kit brand and model?
6. How long would it take to drive to the nearest local builder of your kit brand?
7. Was the lack of local builders the primary reason you joined a list?
8. If "No" to any of the above, why did you join a list?
DAY TO DAY
1. How many days a week do you post to your list? (Do you feel more of a need to be an active
contributor vs a passive member)
2. Are most of your posts re: specific technical questions/answers, or are they more socially
and opinion oriented?
3. What is the percentage of answers/leads to technical questions you get from your list as
opposed to other sources?
4. Do you find your participation in a list more satisfying from a technical or social aspect?
CRUNCH TIME (This is the "Essay test" portion)
We've all been faced with major setbacks. No matter the circumstances, the first
question is "How did that happen?" Answer as many times as you like. Suggestions for
content are:
Did you know before you posted that you were the cause of the problem? If you knew
you screwed up, did you post to "Admit your guilt and confess your sins", getting the reinforcement
from other listers like, "Yeah, join the club", enabling you to go on? Were you angry at yourself
or depressed? How long does it take you to get over the anger/depression/indecision and back to work?
Did you post to determine where you screwed up? Was the list instrumental in finding
the reason?
How do you feel about problems attributable to the kit manufacturer?
BOTTOM LINE
1. Has membership to the list been worthwhile?
2. Has membership to the list provided enough support to salvage a seemingly hopeless project?
3. Would you recommend membership in a list to a newbie?
