  > There is a free software web-based survey tool named LimeSurvey:

Perhaps it would be ethical to use a platform like that, when what we
want is a formulaic survey.  But I think it is the wrong sort of tool
for this job.

We had a long discussion on this list, in April and/or May I think,
about how to do polling about a simple change in features.  What we
need is to invite people to explain their preferences or wishes.

Sorry, I don't have a pointer to any of those messages so I can't
say what to search for, except the words "polling" and "inquiry".
