[nfbcs] Audio captcha survey

[Patrick B]

Hello all,
 
I am conducting research on the presence of audio captchas on various web sites around the Internet. I am asking that you complete this simple, short survey. You are not required to provide your name. Should your name appear as a result of you sending a completed survey via e-mail it will not be used or recorded in any way. Please send completed surveys privately to peanut440 at hotmail.com, there's no need to send your answers to the entire NFBCS list. Thank you in advance for your participation.
 
Please indicate the answer that best describes you for each question below. Please type "N/A" if a question cannot be answered. For example, if you answer "completely inaccurate" to question 7, it is likely you have no experiences to report on for question 8. This is ok, and part of the research.
