Right, that's a problem.  Thanks for reminding me.

I hope that the fact that by default (via the use of cookies) you can return to Survs.com survey at later time (assuming that you do it from the same computer and the same web browser), and continue responding. Taking 30 minutes or more at once may be a problem, taking 10 x 3 minutes may not be.

But I won't have too much hope...
