One interesting thing has happenned.
First the contact me page had just 4 fields - Name, Email, Subject, Comments.
And recently I added two fields to them - Country, Where-did-you-come-to-know-of-this-site.
And, suddenly, the number of incoming messages from the form have drastically dropped!
Wow, people really dont like to fill out long forms!!
I am seriously considering dropping those 2 new fields and retain the original format.

(Benefit of copylefting!!)
