Maybe when the Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Mexican, Japanese and African
restarants stop offering take out. And why is short notice cheaper?
Does that garner one an Uncle Ben's Rice Bowl that was pre-nuked?

What I find interesting is that your email does not come from any
educational or academic address, but a personal address.

Are you trying to hide a business concept you have professionally under
an educational guise?

I would be more inclined to believe you were your address at a dot edu.

I notice you list your prices but not number of servings. Looks great
if it serves 10, but ridiculous if for 1.

I've been a student and I'm a teacher now, yet I've NEVER
EVER used a district or school address. I know you must be
shocked, but it can be done.

Hardly shocked. I understand that it can be done. It is about some
credibility, coupled with the very commercial nature of this survey.

Do you honestly think it is from a student? I don't.

Don't know, don't care. That person's post didn't catch my
interest... but yours did.

There seems to be quite a few commercial surveys on the net that pose as
educational tasks/projects. Like you Jim I only respond to those that
conform to academic standards (eg been passed by an ethics committee etc) and
have a Uni URL.

If commercial ventures want my time and knowledge they can pay for it
