My memory is still intact...there *was* a long form in 2000...and there is a long form this year, too...

First pic is the short form; 10 questions, IIRC...plus more pages for up to 9 extra members of your household...

Second pic is this years long form...I didn't get it, but it is about 3/16" thick, as compared to the short form...

Had to take pics with my phone, so they're pretty bad...but you can see there is a difference...

This is the *only* long form I've seen in 793 deliveries...so the percentage must be on the order of 1 in 1000...
