Our
Research Guidelines have been updated with the following note. I would think it obvious, but apparently some people don't think using PMs and/or Email sent from this board to contact members to take their research surveys is using this board for research.
NOTE (Added 28 March 2007): While I would think it obvious, these rules apply to sending members PMs and Email from the board with research oriented surveys and questions. If you are using this board in any way to question/query our members for research, you must obtain permission first. Trying to avoid getting permission by sending PMs or Emails to members from the board is rude and annoying behavior.
