+                         Network Questionnaires
+
+
+    In recent times, a steady stream of questionnaires has been arriving
+from the network community. Each questionnaire creates an additional
+distraction from more useful work and raises the general annoyance level
+somewhat. The arrival of the seven-page NCP questionnaire (RFC 460) has
+pushed the annoyance level over the top.
+
+    We are wondering if any of the questionnaire polluters has given any
+thought to the fact that it takes time to fill out these questionnaires
+especially if one wants to do a conscientious job and provide reasonable
+answers to questions which are frequently only partially applicable.
+
+    It seems rather presumptuous for RFC 460 to provide a lengthy
+questionnaire without any explanation as to the motivation for it and
+then request a response in two weeks. And tantalize us yet with the
+promise of additional questionnaires in the future.
+
+    Sites which have the luxury of people who have nothing better to do
+than create questionnaires and other meta-work should realize that there
+are some sites that operate with limited personnel resources, do have
+something better to do, and will get nothing done if they are
+continually swamped with all kinds of meta-work.
