I sent this post to the list:
Earlier, I suggest a seven-tier system. It just occurred to me that the
five-tier system would work if you remove the "mostly" from answers 2 and 4.
It is less precise but if you are looking for people that are less than
"very (dis)satisfied", i.e. people that do not hold hardcore opinions,  then
it may be precise enough.

Message sent to [log in to unmask] was quarantined because it contained
banned content

My reply to [log in to unmask] was, of course, undeliverable. Since
they did not reply, I don't know what the banned content was. Rereading the
message, I can only guess that it was the word hardcore. If that is true, I
will get the message again after posting this missive. If this is the case
it is just plain sad that people with limited vocabularies are administering
email filters.

It reminds me of the Scott Adams story about the executive that used the
word pedagogue. I may just have invalidated my experiment by using another
word that the censors don't understand. As the poet said, "Me, I'm rompin',
stompin thankful as I tramp. Without freedom of speech I might be in the
swamp."

PS The censors missed the fact that the first line should have said:
Earlier, I suggested; not Earlier, I suggest. I guess they don't censor bad
grammar. More's the pity.
Peace,
