OK, Principal Investigator, wanna tell me about who's funding this?
National Enquirer? Playboy?

MSFS?

Points to you, John!

Thenk yew.

Did your research protocol gain approval from a duly convened
Institutional Review Board?

Well, since playing in any Internet group arguably is tantamount to
self-institutionalization of the participants, I figure that collectively we
constitute the Committee of the Whole of the Institutional Review Board.

And how would you get informed consent
from some of the members of this newsgroup?

The part about a participant being "informed" already has proven to be extremly
problematic for some posters.

Even more bothersome would
be getting consent from a subject with diminished capacity who lives
in France.

We'll just tell him it's a petition to award the Legion d'honneur to Jerry Lewis.

dibs on coauthor status, by the way.

You got it!
