Let's try to avoid such emails. Whatever the content of Gregory's
email is, sarcastic responses make atmosphere of the list more heated.

Both of these previous assessments I conducted for free. No more. I
would
actually enjoy (as I've e-mailed you privately) expanding the scope of my
latter study to include perhaps 200 new articles. But, that work on my
part
will cost the Foundation a $1,000 stipend. That's a bargain for such a
study. Or, you can try to find a volunteer who will do it for a barnstar,
but they might botch the sampling design.
If you prefer a statistically sound survey of 300
high school teachers
regarding opinions and usage of Wikipedia, that would be more expensive.
I
could still get the job done for a mere $4,000, though -- about
one-quarter
the rate you'd pay with a full-service marketing research firm. Or,
again,
you could go the barnstar route with someone else.
Offers are on the table. Your move.
Oh no! WMF introduces advertisements on their mailing lists!
Death of Wikipedia predicted. Film at 11.
