Well, well, well. I got tapped for a survey about my habits as a user, but my glamorous altar ego did not. Fess up, or comment. What's the deal? Is it the flagrant inanity, the sheer volume of posts? Perhaps it is the many PMs I have sent and received? Have you been tapped? Why? Will you respond, or are you paranoid? Thanks in advance for your participation and speculation. As they say... "Thank you for your participation in the Chronicle's discussion forums. It's a vibrant community because of people like you." Like me! |

I got the letter. No idea why. Maybe because .... oh I dunno. I haven't decided about responding yet. There wasn't any sort of mention as to what they were planning to do with the info. We will use them to help us to make our services a better experience for you. Okeeeyyy.... |

I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code. When in doubt, add chocolate.

I deleted it like I do all unsolicited email that asks for something from me.
I'm cranky today. Can't wait for Thanksgiving break.

I got it, even though I hardly ever post, so it's not based on volume. However, I did post yesterday, so maybe they're taking a random sample of everyone who posted in the last 24 hrs or something like that. I deleted it. I don't click on anything that I'm not completely certain about (computer support has trained me well).

Me, too. I'm curious about what they want to know, but I don't want to invite more spam. |

I'll bet it's an evil plot to ferret out our alternate forum personaes in order to kill them! Dr. Evil, I can't believe you did not think of this first! I just took a look at the survey. Pretty harmless questions really (except that loaded one at the end: "Gender") to find out how the site is being used and what's on everyone's mind. |

Yes, that's correct. And Contemporary, how very postmodern of you to start it! |

No, no, we are a vibrating vibrant community, not vivacious. Well, some of us are vivacious, but only as individuals and not as a collective. |
