I've taken several surveys for Consumer Reports -- cars, electronics,
etc. Maybe I didn't bother to read CU's message thoroughly or maybe I
wasn't asked to take this particular survey, but Safari has allowed me
to complete the surveys w/o a problem.

If I do get a no-Mac survey message, I'll let them know they are about
to lose a subscriber who has been with them over 20 years.
