But on the bright side!! at least you knew it didn't work. I completed an 
on-line questionnaire (Plymouth 'Points of View' Residents Panel) in 
Konqueror and everything seemed fine - until a couple of weeks later when 
I started getting emails and letters asking me if I had forgotten to 
complete the survey. I gave them the date and time I had submitted the 
form and told them to fish it out of their servers! Just glad it wasn't a 
job application.

It's not for the locals - it's there so the surfer dudes from up country 
can get a bit closer to the waves.
