Hi, If we have two forms (which I'm not opposed to) how will a user decide which one they want to use? I think it will add one more step to the process, but if it is does well i don't think it will be a problem. One possibility: [] I want to give a technical review of the site. Note: knowledge of HTML and WCAG required. [] I want to give general feedback about the site. I do not know if these are the best ways to say this,but it's a start. thoughts? --wendy At 11:47 AM 10/27/99 , Gregory J.
