this request is very off topic...

Hi!

Hope it's not too much off topic..

I'm working on my MA diploma project and I need your help.

If English is your first language, please complete a short Questionnaire .

I'd be grateful for every single response.

If you are interested in my research, I can send you a summary of my findings.
Thanks in advance!

hrm...
to spam or not to spam... that is the question

 

[kasia-s]

Yeah, you may say it's spam... I understand (still it's non-commercial) but i'm desperate to find some respondents... and the only way is through the Internet...

 

[AUDRAA]

we've let these go before, if people want to participate and you dont cause problems it can stay as far as Im concerned

 

[Anniston]

If this is legit, you will get a better response if you post the questionnaire on the thread and have respondents pm you the replies. I am sure you would get a good response that way.

 

[alleycat]

yeah what anniston said.

 

[Boomer]

Can you throw an intro up or sumthin? I feel a little used.*curls up in a ball*

 

[alleycat]

oh shut up boomie. you like being used.
