Kantrowitz +RFC: 459 LL-TX-2 +NIC: 14379 February 26, 1973 + + + 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. + + + + + + + This material has not been reviewed for public release and is intended + only for use with the ARPA network.
