I'm conducting a study on triathlons, if any of you have competed in a triathlon in the past year, please take a few minutes (it takes less than five minutes) to fill out this web survey. I'm just learning more about the trends in the triathlon world. All data is aggregated and will remain completely anonymous.

Is the study academic or is it market research for a company?

Was doing it until I started the part where the damn survey started asking me about every single race I have competed in in the past 12 months!!!! I don´t have the time to rate all. Well.... maybe I have the time but not the patience!

My intentions were good but the survey was boring after a while.

my first race isn't until Sunday, so couldn't help if I wanted to.

Never click unverified links in e-mail or BB postings.

Why would you reply to a numbskull question like this one - on a TRIATHLON BB?

Spam is everywhere.
Spambots are now able to register at unprotected BBs and post genuine sounding queries with blind links. They are usually spam.

Don't encourage them by replying.
I moderate at another BB and we have these all the time.
They invariably come from first time posters or users with minimal post counts that are never heard of again. Meanwhile you have given them a ton of time - looking at their adjacent ads, and information, possibly even e-mails so you will receive a ton more of the same - tailored to the info you provided.

The same exact thread was posted on othertriforums, too. And again no answers to questions about the survey, and by a completely new user name.

We have had a student or two post here for survey data for various projects--so it's perfectly legitimate to ask. While I'm typically OK with responding to requests from students, I'm less than thrilled about providing companies with free personal info, opinions, etc.

Looks like the OP's silence says it all.
