[Typo3] Survey - i'm not amused!

[Wim Cruysberghs - thuis]

Happie Birthday Rob!

Besides the point made here concerning the fiability of the sample
questioned in this research, i would like to add that we live here in a
relationship where probably most of you guys have developped or are
developping bussiness routines and income depending (criticaly?) on the work
provided to you by the conceivers of TYPO3.

Why should one bother to give something in return? Something as small as
being included in a mailinglist (treated by trustwo rthy
University-services) resulting in the fact of being asked to fill in on
volontary base a questionnaire....

The mather is that the research even will contribute to the further
development of the product we all love, and can use for free....

Maybe on should consider that individual enrichment can only rise from
working together with others....

Instead of sharing, i felt the shaming part of mailinglists like these
reading the initial post of this subject...

Belgian, Antwerp greetings to you all,

Wim

Having not received an invitation myself[1], I wonder why the
researchers (?) did need email addresses anyway. It would have been just
as good or bad to just post an invitation here. Unless you do some kind
of network analysis (which is obviously not the aim of the survey) you
surely do better to let people answer anonymously instead of
(potentially) binding e-mail identities to survey responses (which is
what spammers or evil online marketing people do but not researchers).

So yes, I'd have liked to be invited (hijacking another email which was
posted in -german did not work ;(), but I would like respondents to be
anonymous. The way this survey was conducted is certainly not
professional, to say the least.

Greetings,
Michael

[1] That's NOT my motivation for critique ;))
