All email surveys go straight to the trash - I rarely even open them.

The vast majority of email surveys are marketing ploys at best, though more often than not are scams, or even worse contain rogue links / code to steal pws / install loggers, rootkits, etc.

I'll keep an eye out for that survey, and will follow-up with any info I find out about it.
