Follow-up new text for map-drawing #221

So, right after the consent page, Rs see the mapping page again with the interactions "Please draw what you think of as your local community in the map."

We don't want to annoy people who will think, "hey, I did this already." So, how about some text letting Rs know that we are asking them to repeat a task that some of them may remember doing?

"You may remember drawing your local community on a map when you took our previous survey. We would like to ask you to draw it again (because we are interested in how stable people's communities are over time)."

I worry that the language in parentheses will lead to changes in behavior we would not otherwise see without that language (i.e. some people will feel prompted to try to draw the same community, while others will be primed to rethink what they had drawn previously). But, without the parenthetical, is it too vague? I guess we could also say "we would like to ask you to draw it again for scientific reasons" but again, too vague?
