93. Seeing as you have stated you have been conducting a "social "experiment""...

as can be seen in post #65, I am curious about a few things:

Did you send out 'invitations' to every participant in your previous thread or were you selective based on the responses? (I received one of the 'invitations' to participate)

In deciding to conduct your experiment, did you have a presumptive conclusion prior to executing your 'experiment'? If so, what would that have been? If not, what is it you wished to prove or disprove?
