OT: Graduate school survey help

[msoegs06]

Greetings,
I hope you will forgive this off topic post. I am a software developer
and graduate student at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. I am
conducting research for my master's thesis on the effects of
outsourcing on knowledge transfer among software engineers. I would
very much appreciate your help with my research.

I have a survey that will ask you questions regarding your experiences
with outsourcing during software projects you have been involved with
during the past twelve to twenty four months. You must be 18 years or
older to take this survey. Your participation is strictly voluntary and
should you decide to participate, you may discontinue your
participation at any time.

Your identity will be kept strictly confidential and I will not be able
to determine who you are by reading your results to the survey. The
survey will be conducted on an MSOE-hosted website utilizing their
survey software. I will be sent the results and will not be able to
track IP addresses or anything of that nature. I am only interested in
your answers.

If you would like to help me with my research, please click on the
following link to take the survey. The survey itself should only take
15 to 20 minutes at most to complete.

Thank you for your help and understanding and I apologize for any
inconvenience my posting may have caused.

Some will, some won't, and the for-or-against
attitudes will probably not be a random function.
Thus your sample is not only self-selected but has
built-in a priori biases, and is therefore incapable
of supporting valid statistical conclustions. You
can save yourself a lot of work by just making up
some results; they'll be just as good as those you'd
get if you actually ran the survey.

For my next trick, I'll conduct a random survey
of attitudes towards firearms regulations. To avoid
bias I'll select my sample completely at random from
this National Rifle Association membership list ...

That is ridiculous. I just answered it using almost the default settings
the whole way through

I wonder how many people just let the default settings apply and click
submit, ROTFLOL

And it really stinks... I don't know if the reason is that I'm sitting
on a macintosh pc but after submitting this shit I get to
/view/doform.asp homepage and absolutely nothing happens here - just
white screen. I would at least expect something like: "Thank you for
participating" or something...

So if somebody wants to ruin this exercise as a punishment for posting
off-topic garbage here, they can just submit the whole thing using
pretty much "default" settings, LOL

Takes 5 seconds...
