FW: Asking about typical or specific instance

Ron Perkins asked me (below) to define 'event' or give a context. In
this particular case, I am interested in finding out how the various
parties in an exchange of technical information or services feel about
the encounter. At this point it is going to be done via a questionnaire.


Regards,

William

William,

Can you please define what you mean by 'event'  or give a context?
