Stephen,

You are probably right about using doing this on the  web.
I'm not concerned about duplicate "voting". This really a query about  
how people in the neighborhood are dealing with the fire insurance  
problem. I live in the Sierra Nevada foothills and as you know,  
California's rural areas burn down every summer and insurance is  
getting to be a problem.

The responses will be open ended narratives, so the reply windows  
need to scroll. I'm afraid my Web skill may not be up to the task. I  
need to work on this, particularly how to get the responses returned  
to me.

Thanks for your advice.
