Short Survey - Patterns in UserIDs (need help)

**nitinjindal83** · 06-05-2006, 05:29 PM

Hi,

My name is Nitin. I am a graduate student at University of Illinois at
Chicago (UIC). I am conducting a few minutes short survey on "Patterns
in Userids" for my research project. We want to study patterns in
usernames or userids created by people when they register on different
websites, etc. I would be really thankful if you could participate in
this short survey. The link is:

The survey has been approved by Institutional Review Board of UIC.

I can assure you that this is not a hack or a spam. If you have any
doubts, you can also find the above survey link at the Department of
Computer Science's research page

Not that you'll ever be back to read this, but damn some of those questions make me uncomfortable.

And, just so you know:

So, yeah, this qualifies as spam
