    After reading the other responses to this thread I'd like to reiterate some
    points others have made that I agree with:

    (1) A better description of the case would be helpful. Some of us open a
    lot of cases.

    (2) A survey for every case is too much. If it's just a drive replacement
    or a simple administrative task like updating the location of a filer, a
    survey is really not necessary. I tend to ignore all the surveys I get now
    just because I get ones for cases that don't justify a survey, and without a
    detailed description its not worth my time to go to NOW to figure out which
    case was which.

    (3) NOW is much more confusing and harder to use since the last redesign.
    It's also too slow. Also, PLEASE please please MAKE THE COOKIES PERSISTENT.
    Especially since it is so slow, it is a major PITA to have to sign in EVERY
    TIME I GO TO THE PAGE. WHY IS THIS NECESSARY? (Sorry about yelling but this
    bothers me a lot.)

    Haha. Venting. Thanks for listening.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    What do you do with the the e-mail that arrives from
    Quality.Manager@netapp.com
    after a problem is closed with NetApp, inviting you to fill in a "5 STARS
    Survey"
    form? I admit I throw them in the e-wastebin.

    It seems to me that providing only a method of returning these (probably
    only
    marginally meaningful) answers by e-mail is absolutely pessimal. If they
    really
    want to increase the response rate, surely NetApp should provide a method
    using forms at now.netapp.com? My vague recollection is that at one time
    a WWW-browser-based method was offered, but this doesn't seem to be the
    case now.
