Hi Melanie,

Thanks for your mail. There was an additional supportive comment made:
"That would offer many new options usable when searching such models."

As you can see, the total number of remarks was quite sparse, but perhaps the survey did not do a particularly good job of inviting positive comment.
We focused instead on 'concerns' people may have.


cheers,

Nick
