And for me, I thought it was spam simply because I didn't recognize the
name. I regularly trash anything that the spam filters don't catch if
the name is unrecognized.

Simply posting to the ng would have avoided this problem. Ellis, if
you're reading, consider it advice for the next time. :-)

The advice is much appreciated. One of my concerns was that I am only
able to survey a small number of participants. I did not want to leave
out or confuse anyone who saw a public post but then did not receive
the private email.

At any rate, as I mentioned and others here have confirmed elsewhere,
I am a doctoral candidate in the final month or so of my years of work
towards a PhD. I would still be very interested in asking a few
questons of some of you, to learn more about who participates in this
newsgroup and to better understand interaction patterns here and in
Usenet generally.

Those who I contacted were selected because they posted a message
during a randomly selected window of time. There are only about 18
questions, you may skip any of them, and all of your answers would
remain confidential.

I came to MKP initially for its topic matter. I have benefitted as a
lurker on several threads here, learning about my wife's pregnancy and
labor (see www.netspace.org/~ellis/noah/timeline.html). As a hubby
with little knowledge, there isn't much I can give back to the group.
One thing I can offer is to think and speak about it as a student of
sociology. I appreciate any of you who can spare the time to help me
do that.
