I started this today and ended up with 12 questions. I’ll be reviewing it and getting suggestions before taking it anywhere. It’s pretty dang difficult to keep my bias out of it. Maybe I’m just not fit to ask questions in polite company.
Go ahead and try it out. I think this site is set up to allow comments if you want to.
