While I somewhat appreciate the sentiment in the last few posts, i find the tone a bit harsh. Perhaps it would be better to consider why colleagues should be approached on this topic, as opposed to doing interviews with children. likewise without a thorough understanding of the research plan and methodology being implemented, I find questioning the foundations of a persons research to be more like intimidation than academic enquiry or aid to the project at hand. I'd encourage you to change your tone to one more conducive to dialogue and discussion of the research project and your apparent interest in improving it. thanks, jeremy On Dec 28, 2003, at 9:39 AM, patrickcarpenter@ireland.com wrote:
