[humanser] Paperwork

Mon Jul 17 01:33:39 UTC 2017

What format is the fomr it?
 And yes, just learn the form, and ask through the conversation interview.
Try to ask questions which are open ended and can get more than just one
answer at once.

 Read the form enough, and you can answer these questions through
