[Corpora-List] Prototype semantics experiment

[brian pardini]

Hello all

I deeply apologize for the trouble a number of people have been  
having with submitting their responses to my semantics questionnaire  
via email.  I have posted a warning on the questionnaire pages about  
this.

(I originally intended to use a back end php script to handle  
responses, but alas! my web host doesn't allow such scripts.  I'm  
looking into moving to another host that will allow back end scripting.)

Thank you Diana, Linda, and Viktor for your kind comments on this  
problem!

Cheers

Brian
