3rd Mail-Out Questionnaire: 1984
Return to the History of CALL-IS Document
84 responses
Responses
are, in many cases, open ended.
Responses were tagged to name
and address in the initial mail-out.
They were no anonymous, but were seen as a tool for networking. The results
were distributed with numbers next to each answer, indicating who had said yes,
and at the back was a two-page list of names and addresses, linked by number. (The names and addresses are not reproduced
here.)
