My MPhil/PhD which is commencing in the upcoming October, will be based on my current research. So as you can understand your help is really important to me. Some of your questions are badly formed. Question #9 is the most aggregious of these, in that it assumes two reasons for participation, and forces the answerer to place themselves into one of the two available categories. Several other questions also contain false dichotomies and assumptions, and therefore have no correct answer (e.g. section B, the 5-6/7-8 split and 11's mistaken assumption of motivation). I realize that the intent of an economics student is to define things in terms of compensation for effort, but assuming a direct reward is a bit naieve (e.g. "a reward is to gt you to do something you would not otherwise do, except for the reward" -- George Carlin). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
