*Apologies for cross-posting*

Hi, listserv subscribers- I sent out the message below a week or so ago,
and I received a lot of feedback from people who are interested in finding
out what results I can gather.  Thank you very much to the few folks who
responded with information.  Is anyone else willing to contribute
information so I can summarize for the list?

Thank you very much,
Rebecca
