All-
��� Response has been positive to the questionnaire. No amendment suggestions, and I already have a few completed ones in the bank.�SA would like to see 25 responses.
��� I admit, I have a personal reason for taking this project on. I "Toughed it out" on my own for 1-1/2 years with no help because there weren't any Zenith builders within a 50 mile radius until just recently. My closest "Buddy" is building a different version, and he's "Only" an hour away. I want the SA readers to know there is an alternative form of help.
��� That said, I'll post the questionnaire once again. Everyone remains anonymous unless you wish otherwise. Please respond off-list to save space.
��� Thanks.

QUESTIONNAIRE 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?

Answers to questionnaire:
SETTING THE STAGE
1. No
2. No
3. NA
4. About a month
5. Don't know
6. Don't know
7. No
8. I was made aware of it thru ZAC website & it looked useful right away.
DAY TO DAY
1. About once a week
2. Specific, not social
3. ~10%
4. Technical
CRUNCH TIME
I have handled my screw-ups either with ZAC or with my EAA tech advisor.� Some, I just figured out myself.� I avoided a few by reviewing several of the builders' websites on ZAC's website.� Only on one was I totally devastated.� I didn't get over it until I had worked out a solution with my tech advisor, about a day.� I actually came up withe the solution, but this was facilitated by the interaction and discussion.
Problems attributable to ZAC are somewhat frustrating, but they always come through, so I don't get really upset.
BOTTOM LINE
1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes
