Continuing efforts by the 'Pent to keep its doors open require...

...us to have each and every member of 'Pent Premium as well as freeloading lurkers to print, fill out (essay not optional), and first class mail the following survey to the Bloggers Guild of America so that our Internet Blogger License will remain current and fully paid.

We know, we know. Paperwork is such a pain. Especially when you have to print it off the computer screen. But this Bloggers Guild group is a bunch of old time, seat of the pants types. They want every T crossed and every I dotted. So what can we do? Our future is in your hands, readers.

The survey itself should require only ten or fifteen minutes to complete (20 if you make a real effort, but either way), so please help.

We're counting on our loyal members to answer the call. Or else we'll be forced to lock you out of the Apartment.

Thanks.

==================================================================

Bloggers Guild of America, New England office Reader/Lurker Survey 2007

Dear Reader/Lurker: Please complete the following questionnaire to the best of your ability. Any answers not completely and clearly marked will be counted as incorrect. And spelling counts (yours, not ours).

The final essay answer will not only aid in keeping us operating but also will be used to determine the "Apartment404 2007 Reader of the Year So Far", to be announced immediately following the renewal of our Internet Blogger LIcense by the BGOA. The subscriber with the best essay in our judgment will be interviewed live via blogspot by Hank himself sometime in late winter and have their picture/pictures featured for the remainder of the year in a new section of the 'Pent, called "Apartment404's Very Best Premium Friends."

Questions 1 thorough 6 are to be scored using the following scale:

----- 1 = Fairly well satisfied with 'Pent.
----- 2 = A little bit more than fairly well satisfied with 'Pent.
----- 3,4,5 = Increasingly satisfied with 'Pent using higher number to indicate amount of total pleasure received.
----- 6 = Super Job, 'Pent!


Let's get started....


Question 1 -- I/we are satisfied with 'Pent and all things 'Pent.
-- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 --

Question 2 -- The links to free porn remain the site's best feature. Agreed?
-- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 --

Question 3 -- I/we love the absolutely free "Apartment404 Athletic and Polo Club" T-shirt sent to all premium subscribers, and do not mind one bit that every single one shipped was a too tight XL that no current American male or larger than average female could ever possibly hope to maneuver their torso into. Really, guys, it's the thought that matters.
-- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 --

Question 4 -- Given that an unnamed staff member residing in and/or working at Apartment404 is with child, we love the fact that the 'Pent is NOT going to take a 3-month maternity leave, unless something completely unforeseen happens and the 'Pent staff should be unable or unwilling to write any more posts.
-- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 --

Question 4 -- We the loyal reader(s)/lurker(s) of Apartment404.blogspot.com, were not thrown a bit by the ridiculous delays in processing our Premium subscription via credit card order while one of your 'Pent interns compared signatures from our credit card, drivers license, and high school diploma, finding fault in our penmanship on spaces in documents and cards no bigger than our big toe, signed decades apart. This wasn't a big deal, though we were kinda anxious to get to those free porn links, especially the "She-To-He" do-over on Paris Hilton at WhatExactlyIsThisQuestionMark.com.
-- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 --

Question 6 -- The nation's next influential catchphrase/marketing slogan, "Never get out of the Kon-Tiki", will always be attributed by us, your loyal readers/lurkers, to Apartment404's staff and editors. We are grateful to have you in our lives for five minutes three times a week.
-- 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 --


Essay Question. To be filled out in its entirety. --

We the reader(s) believe that Apartment404 could be improved by _________________ the entire _______________, _________________ the "Reader ______" sections, and ________________ the ____________ ____________ . And we suggest this will be funded by slashing ______________ , _______________ , _____________ , and especially __________________ out of the Apartment404's yearly blogging budget, provided by Google and supplemented thorough Pell Grants.
