Hello babblers! I commented awhile ago about wanting to post a survey for you guys to answer questions about your experience with this community for a college class. Several people wanted to see some proof of identity. I am linking to the blog the class posts on my profile on so you can see what we discuss. I have been a member for over 2 years, as you can see on my profile. The survey link is also on my profile if you are interested in participating. I would really appreciate it! The results will not be shared outside my class.

7:29 pm

Bugsaw

hwoolf, the class blog came up but the survey is on cloud and wouldn't load for me. Perhaps people willing to participate need to belong to the cloud. I would like to know more about the focus of your research.
