"Does it cause any damage by its presence or absence on the face of the survey?"
Someone gave us this question at an LSAW Convention many years ago. Pretty sure it was George Twiss, former Executive Director of the Washington State Board. It is some of the most helpful advice I have ever gotten for deciding what to show and how to show it. I'm hoping to get one out the door today, and after agonizing over every line and every word and how it might cause misunderstanding and conflict, I thought I would share it, and my appreciation. When the slightest word can cause clients and adjoiners to start waving shotguns and chainsaws, I am thankful to have had this advice. It is the hardest part of surveying, to put oneself in everyone's shoes and keep the peace.

Sounds like good advice.?ÿ Just don't forget about the half bubble in the middle.
It is a good question.?ÿ I suppose a related question that might be asked is: "Does it result in any benefit by its presence or absence on the face of the survey".?ÿ The fact that a statement or graphic doesn't cause damage, doesn't alone mean it should be on the face of the survey.?ÿ Each element of a survey should have a purpose.
