Oh dear god, not again!!!!

This is beginning to look a lot like spamming. I am thinking that maybe the moderators should step in here.

And thus why there is a report button on each thread.

Dude or Dudette, if you haven't gotten enough of a response from us to make your joystick glow, then maybe you should realize we don't care. Stop posting this crap.

I've seen this survey before. When will it stop? What is this, Groundhog Day?

Stop posting these stupid surveys already, they serve absolutely no useful purpose to anybody, not even yourself.

Didn't you get the hint before?

"Similarly, some of the first educators and researchers in SL were a bit clumsy in their approach. There were early incidents in which Residents felt—rightly—that they were being spied upon or treated like guinea pigs rather than human beings. Imagine how you would feel if an entire class of students set up right next to your vacation hideaway, left trash lying around, logged your conversations, and posted them on the Internet with criticism and mean-spirited comments. This is exactly what happened to some early Residents. Things have improved greatly in the years since then, but sometimes SL Residents are still subject to that kind of inconsiderate behavior. For example, a constant stream of researchers (often students) posts on the Second Life official forums requesting that Residents please take their surveys. Most of these surveys include the same questions that have been asked over and over. Often they aren't spell-checked, or refer to SL as a game—a sure way to irritate a substantial number of Residents. Some Residents make a hobby of critiquing these surveys, pointing out how the questions and their wording make it clear that the researcher isn't familiar with Second Life. Some post outright that they are sick of badly planned surveys and suggest that the researchers log in and do their own research."

If this person is an educator or academic researcher, I am a skirt-wearing marsupial.

This is a scam.
