Not quite on topic, but a plea for help!

Dear participants in the misc.kids forum.

I am a PhD student at The Norwegian School of Management (BI) in
Norway. Currently we are conducting a research study trying to build
knowledge about how we, as consumers, are sharing our experience as
customers of products or services in discussion forums. The data
collected through this survey will form the basis for my PhD thesis.
I invite you to participate in the study on the link below. Answering
the survey will take approximately 10 minutes of your time.

As I need respondents from many different forums, covering a broad
range of topics, you might see this invitation in other forums too.

To those of you that take this posting offensive, I apologize.

Many thanks to those of you who take the trouble and help me in my PhD
work.

All comments, positive or negative, are welcomed, but please mail me
directly ) so we don't spam this forum
unnecessary.


Best regards, Liv Karin Slåttebrekk
PhD Student, Department of Marketing, NSM BI

Gee, I wouldn't vote to pass the thesis. I mean you will get a sample that
is terribly self-selected. As a Ph.D. student, do you really think the data
you collect (in the wrong news group, nonetheless) will have any validity?
