Dear OSM contributors, and survey authors, You might not be sick of nonsense survey authors requesting our personal information to "study our project". You might even be tempted to reply and to fill in their survey. If you do, please, first find evidence that you are responding to a legitimate survey from an accredited research institution. And that it has appropriate oversight and privacy guidelines. Not everybody who uses "surveys" to collect personal information is doing so in your best interest. In fact, they could not possibly be doing so. Two surveys, broadcast on our networks within a week? This stinks of a new trend. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
