Please take 5-10 minutes to help me on my thesis questionnaire and get the report

[Gabriel]

Hi All,

(First my apologies for this kind of "spam" message. But for my thesis
this will be my once in a lifetime spam moment... )

At the moment I have to graduate for my master in Business Information
Management and need to do a survey for my thesis. The thesis is about
Web vs. Desktop based applications and the differences perceived by
the user. So not from the management/technology point of view but from
the end-user. I focus now on Desktop vs. Webmail and need a whole lot
of respondents to get some usable statistics.

Everyone who uses email (Outlook/Gmail/Thunderbird/Yahoo, etc!) is a
valid respodent for this thesis.

Therefore I would really appreciate it if you would take the time to
complete my questionnaire (available in Dutch and English) and (maybe
even) forward it to some of your colleagues, friends and family!

It's 50 closed and 3 open questions, so it shouldn't take more than 5
minutes.

You find it at: http://www.amteam.nl/thesis

And of course everyone who submits his or her email address will get
the final report, which can be very interesting for application
developers.

Thanks a lot!
Gab

In fact, you're both being a bit naive. You're both assuming that he is
telling the truth. The message mentions providing an email address via the
"survey." This is a perfect way for a SPAMmer to harvest emails. There is
no evidence that the poster is being truthful at all, either about who he
is, what school he attends (if any), or what his motives are.

An apt observation, and although I'm not sure I mentioned it, I definitely
was thinking that this may not be academic research at all. The link goes
to a commercial web site (in Dutch and English) with absolutely no mention
of a university on the first page (and I didn't go beyond that).

Hardly, the thought did cross my mind.

The simple fact that the OP has not responded to any of these posting
solidifies the fact that the posting is spam.
