> Other members have asked me if I was a researcher, part of a study. Upon further investigation, I found out the conversations on this board are part of a research project.
~~~ When I arrived here about 7 years ago, the boards were part of research and that point was made very clear. At some point that changed and then changed again. Regardless of whether Dr. Bob lets the participants know of what he's up to, all the boards have in their explanation beginnings:"What you say may conceivably be used against you."
"Submitting a message gives me permission to use it as I wish."Those are pretty powerful statements of policy, IMO. It took me a while to realize how powerful those statements could be. (Sigh)
