[net.followup] Request for sexuality research participants

charlesd@tekig4.UUCP (Charles Davis) (10/02/86)

It is apparent that the psychologist, who was offended by the "Male Sexuality
Research" request for participants, has not referred to net.research, where
all of the academic qualifications and formal sponsorship are listed.

What unsavory things were you thinking of?
The survey can't be used to build a mailing list (no names/addresses).
The only thing I could see is that it could "ruin the good name of USENET".
I'd find that hard to believe...

It is apparent that the netnik, who admonished the psychologist, who
was offended by the "Male Sexuality Research" request for participants,
who lived in the house that Jack built, does not know the difference
between restrictive and non-restrictive clauses.
