Re: HER2 Incidence by Geographical Location

We're up to 113, actually, and I've discovered the defect in this idea--more than 100 responses requires a paid subscription.

I don't really want to subscribe to SurveyMonkey for a year, because I'm not going to use the subscription (unless...see below). I can use a monthly subscription to get the results, but then I'll need to terminate the survey when the month is over, so I don't want to do it right away.

If we decide that we want to do more surveys (for which we'll need ideas), then the annual subscription makes sense, and I'm happy to do it. Before doing that, though, I have to figure out who to ask for permission--something I should've done for this one, but it never occurred to me to read the TOS first (leaving me the need to ask both forgiveness and permission). If this is the only survey, then we'll need to pick a termination date, and I'll wrap it up. (There's no rush--the data's not going away, and I'd like those who don't log in often to have a chance to respond.)

Suggestions welcome.
