Charlie, do you have details of this psychology experiment that was conducted
on us?

How about the article.  My subscription to "Psychology Today" seems to have
run out.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure how I feel about being used as part of an
experiment without my knowledge or consent, or how I feel about someone
furthering his career as a result of said experiment.

While I did suspect that Mike Shea was a net.fake, I did not suspect the 
net.experiment.for.career.gains angle (feeling stupid :-)).

If others are interested, you can post the response, else if I'm the only one
interested, e-mail me.

Thanks,

craig

P.S.  Can you include an e-mail address without and @ in it?  They have proven
     unreasonably difficult to use with outgoing mail (don't ask...MIS's setup)
