Very interesting.
I happened to browse over there today and lo and behold I got a popup “would you take a site survey?” Of course I said yes. There are a couple of places to type freeform comments.
(1) They asked How I would rate the site – 0 to I think 10.
(2) They asked why you gave it that rating and had you select all the choices:
