What is the "study" about?

[betsy]

I've read that MLF is doing some sort of a study....like an experimentation?

I'm just curious.

If it involves this forum, they likely won't tell us anything, as it would skew the results.

I dunno, but there's a shadowy figure outside my window on dark stormy nights, and last night a cattleprod zapped me out of my sleep. There's also that damned giant hamster wheel that appeared in my living room one night. I've been meaning to ask Greg what that's all about...

The truth is out there.

You got that too?

[Electric Monk]

Watch out for giant hamsters.

[betsy]

What about the red eye. Anybody got that?

I just found this quote from Greg.

Just to be clear, the University of Lethbridge is only a partner of Maple Leaf Web. There is no study attached to to Maple Leaf Web and if the University pulled out of the partnership, we would NOT be closing our doors.

I don't think this means that they can't or don't use this forum as a resource.

Too bad the big opportunity was missed. Who does own MapleLeafWeb?

Thanks Electric Monk and Scriblett.

That's the whois on this on. I censored out the phone and fax to protect Greg from massive phone calls from the whiny brats here.

Looks like the Department of Political Science @ the UofL holds the name.

Don't know what this study is, but a psychology department could do an excellent study on a daily obsession by individuals who like to read their own words and somehow feel they are important enough to spend most of their awake hours each day writing to an audience of like individuals.

It would be interesting to see why these individuals "don't have a life" important enough to spend this same amount of time away from the screen doing something more productive.

Naturally you are including yourself in that statement LOL Never mind summers here weather's way too nice to be on line, see you much later unless it rains.

[Greg]

Geoffrey and a few others have correctly pointed out the answer to your question - thanks guys. Although, even though the U o fL's Department of Political Science is listed in the Admin and Tech contact for the domain, the Department does NOT own MLW, rather the Department is where my office is located. Ownership of MLW is shared amongst the individual funders of the project (including policy.ca). So there is technically no single owner.

Where did you read this?

Where did you read this?

Somewhere in this forum quite a while ago. I can't recall exactly where. But then, it was from one of the posters....so I guess it was only an assumption?

Yup, no study is being done - at least no study that I am aware of...

....A secret study!

Colonel Mustard's study, with a lead pipe.

For some reason, this entire thread makes me think of Monty Python.
