Ok folks, I got lots of GREAT responses...

While waiting for replies, I started my own questionnaire, with the help of
the admin that is leaving, we were up to around 18 questions when responses
started pouring in.

Some people sent me Questionnaires that they had written..
Some others sent me ideas for questions or sources to come up with
questions...
And some folks sent me to web sites full of questions or leads...

and just for fun:

I'm compiling and re-writing to suite my needs, I'll toss the whole thing
out to the list when I'm done...

Thanx to everyone for all the help so far...
