Have

been in touch with several (about 30) online communities such as ours. They

would like to run some research  aimed to

improve the functioning of online communities

I

have been in touch with them over the past 2 months and have taken a look at

the draft and final questions. It is my understanding that their research is genuine

and with good motives.

They

will write to some (about 100 to 150) members of this group and

ask them to complete a survey. It will take about 15 minutes. They questions are

all online – they send you a link and password.

I

have completed a test survey and found that it took me just over 15 minutes to

do. If they do write to you, please take a moment to decided if you’d like to

take part. My recommendation is that you do.

Do

let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks
