I don't understand why this error is made so often.  I was filling out an
on-line survey for marketing research and was asked something similar to
"Will you exclusively breastfeed your infant for 12 months?"  I marked no as
I usually tend to introduce solids the middle of the first year <g>  The
next question was something about "What type of formula will you be using?"
Uhmmm... Did I say anything about using an ABM?  I tried to go back and
change my answer to get to the correct question, but it wouldn't let me at
that point.  I did e-mail the company and received a form response.
