[labnetwork] Toxic Gas Monitoring System Survey

[Mary Tang]

Hello again --

Gosh, it's only been a few hours since the posting and we've got 10 
responders!  And we've also had the feedback that more confidentiality 
would be appreciated.  So, rather than spam the network, we will 
distribute results just to survey participants.  If other labnetwork 
members are interested in the results, please email me and I'll send you 
an anonymous version of the results. 

We'll keep the survey open for a week.  Thanks again to those of who are 
participating -- based on what we've seen so far, many of our 
experiences are quite similar...
