[RCom-l] Important: Poll for support of subject recruitment for "Anonymity and conformity [...]" study

[Goran Milovanovic]

Ok Aaron, I am on it. I don't see any problem with this research and my
vote to go on with it (changed on the project's talk page already made).

BTW: "...since it represents the first mass recruitment request (200-300
responses needed)."
Q: what is "massive" in the recruitment request for 200-300 respondents
online?

Best,
Goran
