And let Bonney pull it off the list and put it into his web page?
Instead, why not submit it to the STC Journal or Intercom, where
the conclusions can be properly reviewed and the study get the
approbation it deserves. That *is* what one does with real research,
don't you agree?
BTW, why are we giving SSI more airtime? There must have been
a good 20 or so who went to Bonney's site to check it out, it's been
published over and over on the list, it'll end up in the ARCHIVES for
pity's sake, and now we're sending *students* there?
(Has anyone submitted it to www.corecomm.com/corecomm/worst.html?)
