[Reader-list] SURVEY QUESTIONS

[Aman Malik]

Hi all,
The following are the questions that I wish to put forth to Internet users as part of my ongoing study on parallel lives that people lead on and off the Internet
 I'd be obliged if you could kindly turn in the answers by the 7th Aug (latest). Pleaes do let me have a short bio of yourself as I might have to quote you in my final study. Also please be as descriptive in answering the questions as you possibly can be.

Thanks & Regards,
Aman Malik
