 The 'Furvey' is a furry lifestyle related questionnaire. You can use it
as a template for introducing yourself to alt.lifestyle.furry. You may
also find that completing a Furvey helps you to explore your own furry
thoughts and feelings.

 The Furvey is voluntary. Ignore any questions or sections which do not
apply to you, or which you do not wish to answer.
 
 When posting a Furvey to alt.lifestyle.furry, it is a good idea to
include your name in the subject header, e.g. "JackFox's Furvey".
