I post extensively on a.s.t. The alt.support.* hierarchy 
receives a variety of postings from putative researchers, 
usually asking that a questionnaire be filled out. 
 
 
I have posted on this topic before. Unless the poster gives 
the FULL particulars of his/her identity, academic institution, 
full snail-mail address and telephone/fax numbers, I have  
advised that such postings be summarily ignored. Why should 
personal information be given to a semi-anonymous poster? 
 
 
The permutations on the misspellings of Georges Gilles de la Tourette's
last name and the neurological disorder that bears his name are legion. The
two given here are at least immediately recognizable.
